[282]
Has the state ever had to
thank any one of them in the whole course of his life for so much as a horse, or
a war-galley, or a military expedition, or a chorus, or any public service,
assessed contribution, or free gift, or for any deed of valor or any benefit
whatsoever? Yet even if he could claim credit for all those services, but could
not add that he has been an honest and disinterested ambassador, he ought
assuredly to suffer death. If he has neither the one claim nor the other, will
you not punish him?
