[10] χρὴ δέ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ὥσπερ οὗτος ἀμελήσας τῆς πόλεως τὴν αὑτοῦ σωτηρίαν ἐσκέψατο, οὕτως ὑμᾶς ἀμελήσαντας τούτου τῇ πόλει τὰ βέλτιστα ψηφίσασθαι, ἄλλως τε καὶ ὅρκους ὀμωμοκότας καὶ περὶ Ἀλκιβιάδου μέλλοντας ψηφίσασθαι, ὃς ἐὰν ὑμᾶς ἐξαπατήσῃ, καταγελῶν τῆς πόλεως ἄπεισιν· οὐ γὰρ δὴ χάριν γε ὑμῖν ἀποδώσει τῇ ψήφῳ κρύβδην εὖ παθών, ὃς τῶν φίλων τοὺς φανερῶς αὐτὸν εὖ ποιήσαντας κακῶς ποιεῖ.

[10] And, gentlemen, just as this person has disregarded the State to provide for his own safety, so you should disregard him in voting what is best for the State; especially since you have sworn oaths and have to vote on Alcibiades, who, if he is able to deceive you, will go away mocking at the city. For he will show you no gratitude for the benefit covertly gained from your vote, since he repays with injury the open assistance of any of his friends.
