οὐκ ἔξεστι δὲ ποῖ; ἐξ ἧς ἂν φεύγῃ τις πόλεως. ποῦ καὶ σφόδρα τοῦτο δηλοῖ; ‘ἐάν τις κατίῃ’ φησί. τοῦτο δ᾽ οὐκ ἔστ᾽ ἐπενεγκεῖν ἄλλῃ πόλει πλὴν ἣν ἂν φεύγῃ τις: ὅθεν γὰρ μηδ᾽ ἐξέπεσέν τις τὴν ἀρχήν, οὐκ ἔνι δήπου κατελθεῖν εἰς ταύτην. ὁ μὲν τοίνυν νόμος ἔνδειξιν δέδωκεν, καὶ ταύτην, ‘ἂν κατίῃ ὅποι μὴ ἔξεστιν:’ ὁ δὲ ‘ἀγώγιμος ἔστω’ γέγραφεν κἀντεῦθεν, ὅποι φεύγειν οὐδεὶς κωλύει νόμος.
