καὶ τὰ μὲν ῥητορικά ἐστι (9) τοιαῦτα, ὅτι πολλὰ ἀνῄρηκεν ἢ ὑπερβέβηκεν, οἷον (10) ὅρκους, δεξιάς, πίστεις, ἐπιγαμίας·
πολλῶν γὰρ ἀδικημάτων (11) ὑπεροχή.
καὶ τὸ ἐνταῦθα οὗ κολάζονται οἱ ἀδικοῦντες, ὅπερ (12) ποιοῦσιν οἱ ψευδομαρτυροῦντες·
ποῦ γὰρ οὐκ ἂν ἀδικήσαιεν, (13) εἴ γε καὶ ἐν τῷ δικαστηρίῳ;
There are also such rhetorically effective ways of putting it as the following: That the accused has disregarded and broken not one but many solemn obligations like oaths, promises, pledges, or rights of intermarriage between states
— here the crime is worse because it consists of many crimes;
and that the crime was committed in the very place where criminals are punished, as for example perjurers do
— it is argued that a man who will commit a crime in a law—court would commit it anywhere.
