[251]
Ah, says he, but look
at that glorious boast of Cephalus—never once indicted! Yes, glorious,
and also lucky. But why should a man who has been often indicted but never
convicted be the more justly open to reproach? However, men of Athens, so far as Aeschines is concerned, I
can repeat that glorious boast: for he never indicted me or prosecuted me on
indictment; and so, by his own admission, I am no worse a citizen than Cephalus.
