[231]
The sequel was that
the Athenians caught these bad men, for they knew all about it,
and—what do you think? They released the men who had taken bribes and
had disgraced themselves, the city, and their own children, because they thought
that they were very sensible men, and that the city was going on nicely; but
they thought that the man who accused them had gone out of his mind, and that he
did not understand Athens, and that
he did not know even how to fling his money away.
