πολλὴν οὖν χάριν οἶδα τοῖς δικασταῖς, οἳ οὐκ ἐπείσθησαν ὑπὸ Στεφάνου, ἀλλ’ ἐλάττονά μοι ἐτίμησαν δίκην.

I am deeply grateful to the jurors who were not persuaded by Stephanos, but who inflicted a lesser penalty on me.

οὐκοῦν τοσούτων κακῶν αἴτιος ἡμῖν ἐγίγνετο Στέφανος, οὐδέποτε ὑφ’ ἡμῶν ἀδικηθείς.
