[110]
All that, men of
Athens, is just what has been
done by Meidias. He brought against me a false charge of murder, in which, as
the facts proved, I was in no way concerned; he indicted me for desertion,
having himself on three occasions deserted his post; and as for the troubles in
Euboea—why, I nearly forgot to mention them!-troubles for which his
bosom-friend Plutarchus was responsible, he contrived to have the blame laid at
my door, before it became plain to everyone that Plutarchus was at the bottom of
the whole business.
