[271]
You hear, men
of Athens, the record which declares
Arthmius, son of Pythonax, of Zelea, to be enemy and foeman of the Athenian
people and their allies, him and all his kindred. His offence was conveying gold
from barbarians to Greeks. Hence, apparently, we may conclude that your
ancestors were anxious to prevent any man, even an alien, taking rewards to do
injury to Greece; but you take no
thought to discountenance wrongs done by your own citizens to your own city.
