οὐ τοίνυν ἔγωγε οἶδα¹ ὅ τι ὑμᾶς διαφερόντως δεῖ γιγνώσκειν περὶ αὐτοῦ ἢ οἱ οἰκεῖοι γιγνώσκουσι· τοιαῦτα γάρ ἐστιν, ὥστʼ εἰ καὶ μηδὲν αὐτῷ ἄλλο ἡμάρτητο, διὰ μόνα ταῦτα δίκαιον² εἶναι ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι. οἷα μὲν οὖν ζῶσα ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ κατηγόρει, παρήσω· ἐξ ὧν δὲ τελευτῶσα τὸν βίον διεπράξατο τεκμαιρομένοις ῥᾴδιόν ἐστιν ὑμῖν γνῶναι ὁποῖός τις ἦν περὶ αὐτήν.

Well now, I do not see how your judgement of him should differ from that of his own people; for the facts are of such a nature that, even if he had committed no other offence, they would alone justify his rejection. The strange things of which his mother accused him while she was alive I will pass over; but on the evidence of the measures that she took at the close of her life you can easily judge how he treated her.
