[46] ὅ δὲ δεῖ¹ καὶ μάλιστα ἐνθυμεῖσθαι,—καὶ μή μοι ἄχθεσθε, ἂν ὑμᾶς πολλάκις ταὐτὰ² διδάξω. μέγας γὰρ ὁ κίνδυνός ἐστι, καθʼ ὅ τι δʼ ἂν ὑμεῖς ὀρθῶς γνῶτε, κατὰ τοῦτο σῴζομαι, καθʼ ὅ τι δʼ ἂν ψευσθῆτε τἀληθοῦς, κατὰ τοῦτο ἀπόλλυμαι—μὴ οὖν ἐξέληται³ τοῦτο ὑμῶν μηδείς, ὅτι τὸν μηνυτὴν ἀπέκτειναν, καὶ διετείναντο αὐτὸν μὴ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς ὑμᾶς, μηδʼ ἐμοὶ ἐγγενέσθαι παρόντι ἄξαι τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ βασανίσαι αὐτόν.

[46] One thing above all you must remember, and I hope that you will forgive me for repeatedly stressing the same point; but my danger is great, and only if you form a right judgement, am I safe; if you are misled, I am doomed. I repeat, let no one cause you to forget that the prosecution put the informer to death, that they used every effort to prevent his appearance in court and to make it impossible for me to take him and examine him under torture on my return;
