[16] καίτοιγε αὐτὸν ἀκούω λέξειν ὡς οὐ περὶ αὐτοῦ μόνον ἡ δοκιμασία ἐστίν, ἀλλὰ περὶ πάντων τῶν ἐν ἄστει μεινάντων, καὶ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τὰς συνθήκας ὑμᾶς ὑπομνήσειν, ὡς ἐκ τούτων προσληψόμενον αὐτὸν δοκιμαστὰς τοὺς ἐν ἄστει μείναντας. ἐγὼ δʼ ὑπὲρ τοῦ πλήθους βραχέα πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰπεῖν βούλομαι, ὅτι ὁ δῆμος οὐ τὴν αὐτὴν γνώμην ἔχει περὶ πάντων τῶν ἐν ἄστει μεινάντων, ἀλλὰ περὶ μὲν τῶν τοιαῦτα ἐξαμαρτανόντων οἵαν ἐγώ φημι δεῖν,

[16]
And yet, I am told, he will assert that this scrutiny affects, not merely him, but all those who remained in the city, and he will remind you of your oaths and covenants¹ in the hope that he will thus contrive to enlist the men who remained in the city to aid him in this scrutiny. But I desire, on behalf of the people, to give him this brief reply: the people do not take the same view of all those who remained in the city, but regard those who commit offences like his with the feelings that I say they ought,² while towards the rest they feel the opposite.
