Of these
charges, then, I cleared myself in your court, not by a narrow margin but so
completely that my accuser failed to obtain a fifth of the votes; and upon
Androtion I shall endeavor, with your help, to avenge myself today and on every
other occasion.I shall pass over a great deal
that I might say about private matters; but there are other matters on which you
are now going to give your votes, including not a few injuries which the
defendant has done you in dealing as a citizen with public affairs, and these,
which Euctemon chose to pass over, but which it is better for you to understand,
I shall now try to explain briefly.
