“that on their arrival
they shall confer with him about the seizure of the admiral and the ships
and the soldiers, and, if Amyntas acted in ignorance, they shall say that
the people attach no blame to him; or, if the admiral was caught exceeding
his instructions, that the Athenians will investigate the matter, and punish
him as his carelessness shall deserve; if, on the other hand, neither of
these suppositions is true, but it was a deliberate affront on the part
either of the officer or of his superior, they shall state the same, in
order that the people, being apprised of it, may decide what course to
take.]”
