[177]
You have seen
how I was harassed by troubles and annoyance throughout the expedition. You can
imagine how they behaved there, with their paymaster next door, when their
conduct here, under the eyes of the people, who hold the power to reward and to
chastise, is what we know it to be. Now I wish to
recapitulate the charges I have brought home, and to show that I have fulfilled
the undertaking I gave at the outset of my speech. I have proved, not by words
but by the testimony of facts, that there was no word of truth in the report of
Aeschines, but that he successfully deceived you.
