For recompense is due to all alike who are forward to
do us service, but in a special degree to those who are friends in time of need;
and such an one clearly was Epicerdes. Are we not then ashamed, men of
Athens, if it appears that we
have retained no memory of these services and have robbed of their reward the
sons of such a benefactor, though we can charge them with no fault?
