οὐ γάρ ποτε οὔτ᾿ ἂν θέατρον αὐτῇ ἀναθεῖναι τοιοῦτον, οὔτ᾿ ἂν δευτέραν κλήρωσιν τῆς ὑπάτου ἀρχῆς ἐπ᾿ αὐτῇ ἀναβαλέσθαι μὴ καθαρῶς ἔχοντα τῆς αἰτίας, οὔτ᾿ ἂν τὸν κόσμον αὐτῆς ἐς τὸ ἐν Ἐλευσῖνι ἱερὸν ἀναθεῖναι φέροντα φόνῳ μεμιασμένον, τουτὶ γὰρ τιμωροὺς τοῦ φόνου ποιοῦντος ἦν τὰς θεὰς μᾶλλον ἢ ξυγγνώμονας.
