[195] ἀμφοτέρων οὖν τῶν ὑποθέσεων δι’ ἃς ἐστάλημεν οἰχομένων, ἴσως φήσει τις· τι οὖν, οὐκ ᾔδεσαν πραγματεύεσθαι τὴν μετὰ ἀσφαλείας ἐπάνοδον; πρὸς ὃν εἴποιμι ἄν· ἢ οὐκ ἔχεις ἀνδρὸς εὐγενοῦς πάθος γνήσιον ἢ οὐκ ἐνετράφης οὐδὲ ἐνησκήθης τοῖς ἱεροῖς γράμμασιν. ἐλπίδων εἰσὶ πλήρεις οἱ ὄντως εὐγενεῖς, καὶ οἱ
νόμοι τοῖς ἐντυγχάνουσι μὴ χείλεσιν ἄκροις ἐλπίδας ἀγαθὰς δημιουργοῦσιν.

[195] "If, therefore, both the objects on account of which we were sent are overthrown, perhaps some one will say, What then, did they not know that they had to negotiate for a safe return? But I would reply to such a man, You either have not the genuine feelings of a nobly born man, or else you were not educated like one, and have never been trained in the knowledge of the sacred scriptures; for men who are truly noble are full of hope, and the laws too implant good hopes in all those who do not study them superficially but with all their hearts.
