ΠΕΙΣ. ἀλλ’ οὺ μὰ Δία οὐκ αὐτὴν μισοῦμεν τὴν πόλιν.
DIK. “Tell me the, my friends, what happened to you, or what is it that you want that makes you leave the city”
ΔΙΚ. λέγετε οὖν, ὦ φίλοι τί παθόντες ἢ τί βουλόμενοι ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἀπέρχεσθε;
EU. “Peisetairos here and I have had a terrible experience, Dikaiopolis, and so we want to go away.”
ΕΥ. δεινὰ δὴ παθόντες καὶ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ Πειέταιρος οὑτοσί, ὦ Δικαιόπολι, ἐπιέναι βουλόμεθα.
“For we find the affairs of the city hard to bear, especially the lawcourts.”
βαρέως γὰρ φέρομεν τὰ τῆς πόλεως πράγματα, μάλιστα δὲ τὰ δικαστήρια.
“So great was the misfortune we suffered when we entered the lawcourts.”
τοιοῦτον γὰρ τὸ πάθος ἐπάθομεν εἰς τὸ δικαστήριον εἰσελθόντες.
RHAP. “What sort of misfortune?”
ΡΑΨ. ποῖον τὸ πάθος;
“What had you done, or what wrong did you do so that you suffered this misfortune?”
τί ποιήσαντες ἢ τί ἀδικήσαντες τὸ πάθος ἐπάθετε;
EU. “We did nothing and we did no wrong …
ΕΥ. οὐδὲν οὔτ’ ἐποιήσαμεν οὐτ’ ἀδικήσαμεν, …
… but the jurors condemned us, even though we were innocent …
ἀλλ’ οἱ δικασταὶ κατεψηφίσαντο ἡμῶν ἀναιτίων ὄντων …
because of the false testimony of the witnesses.”
διὰ τὴν τῶν μαρτύρων ψευδομαρτυρίαν.
DIK. “I am not surprised that you are setting off to find another city, …
ΔΙΚ. ἀλλ’ οὐ θαυμάζω εἰ ἄλλην τινὰ πόλιν ζητοῦντες ἀνίστασθε, …
since you give a just account of the lawcourt and the jurors.”
ἐπεὶ δίκαια λέγετε περὶ τοῦ τε δικαστηρίου καὶ τῶν δικαστῶν.
“For the crickets sing for little while in the branches, …
οἱ μὲν γὰρ τέττιγες ὀλίγον χρόνον ἐπὶ τῶν κραδῶν ᾄδουσιν, …
but the Athenians sing all the time in their lawcourts.”
οἱ δὲ Ἀθηναῖοι ἐπὶ τῶ δικῶν ᾄδουσιν ἀεί.
“You are doing this with reason.”
ταῦτ’ οὖν εἰκότως ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε.
“And it is with reason that I shall not do this.”
ἐγὼ δὲ εἰκότως ταῦτα οὐ ποιήσω.
“For I, like the orators, love the city, and I shall never cease to love the city.”
φιλόπολις γάρ εἰμι, ὥσπερ οἱ ῥήτορες, οὐδὲ παύσομαι οὐδέποτε φιλόπολις ὤν.
PEI. “Dikaiopolis, what are you saying?”
ΠΕΙΣ. ὦ Δικαιόπολι, τί φής;

ἆρ’ οἰκτίρουσιν οἱ ῥήτορες τὸν δῆμον;
“Do they pity them or not? Tell me.”
οἰκτίρουσιν ἢ οὔ; λέγε.
“Why are you silent? You will not say?”
τί σιωπᾷς; οὐκ ἐρεῖς;
“They do not pity them, but they will destroy the city, you know it well.”
οὐκ οἰκτίρουσιν, ἀλλ’ ἀπολοῦσι τὴν πόλιν, εὖ οἶσθ’ ὅτι.
“For I will answer on your behalf.”
ἐγὼ γὰρ ὑπὲρ σοῦ ἀποκρινοῦμαι.
“The land is full of their audacity, the assembly is full of it, and the lawcourts are full of it, …
καὶ πλέα μὲν ἡ γῆ τῆς τόλμης αὐτῶν, πλέα δ’ ἡ ἐκκλησία, πλέα δὲ τὰ δικαστήρια, …
but the people are full of distress.”
ὁ δὲ δῆμος πλέως τῆς ἀπορίας.
