What, then, men of Athens, do you expect of this man, who has
proved himself such a friend to you, if he learns that you have deprived him by
law of his immunity, and have made it illegal to bestow it hereafter, even if
you change your minds? Are you not aware that this same law, if ratified, will
take away the immunity, not only from Leucon, but from those of you who import
corn from his country?1
1 Because Leucon will, of course, retaliate by imposing the dues again.
