Num creditum est patri meo? num ullam auctoritatem eius litterae habuerunt? Ego ipse quotiens quae audieram detuli et cum ludibrio credulitatis repulsus sum! Si et, cum indicamus, invisi et, cum tacemus, suspecti  sumus, quid facere nos oportet? Cumque unus e circumstantium turba exclamasset: Bene meritis non insidiari! Philotas: Recte, inquit, quisquis  es, dicis.
Was my father believed? His letter had no weight, had it? As for myself, how often have I reported what I had heard and been repulsed with mockery of my credulity! If we are both disliked when we report anything, and suspected when  we keep silence, what are we to do? And when one of the throng of bystanders had exclaimed not plot against your benefactors!, Philotas replied:  You speak rightly, whoever you are.
