[22] μὴ γὰρ ἰδίους τοὺς¹ ἀγῶνας τούτους ὑπολάβητε εἶναι κατὰ τῶν νῦν ἀποπεφασμένων μόνων, ἀλλὰ κοινοὺς καὶ κατὰ² τῶν ἄλλων ἀνθρώπων. δωροδοκία γὰρ καὶ προδοσία κρινομένη παρʼ ὑμῖν δυοῖν θάτερον ἐκ³ τοῦ λοιποῦ χρόνου ποιήσει τοὺς ἄλλους, ἢ χρήματα λαμβάνειν καθʼ ὑμῶν θαρροῦντας ὡς οὐ δώσοντας δίκην, ἢ φοβεῖσθαι τὸ λαμβάνειν ὡς τῆς τιμωρίας τοῖς ληφθεῖσιν ἀξίας γενησομένης τῶν ἀδικημάτων.

[22] You must not imagine that these trials are private issues concerning no one but the men reported; they are public and concern the rest of us as well. A case of bribery and treason tried before you will affect others in the future in two possible ways: either it will make them accept bribes against you unhesitatingly in the knowledge that they will not be brought to justice, or it will make them afraid to take them, since they will know that those who are caught will be punished in a manner suited to the crime.
