Consider this point. What did he undertake to do for
you, and what did you appoint him to do? To collect moneys. Anything else
besides? Not a single thing! Very well; I will remind you of the items of his
accounts. He collected from Leptines of Coele thirty-four drachmas, from
Theoxenus of Alopece seventy drachmas or a trifle more, and from Callicrates,
the son of Eupherus, and from the young son of Telestes, whose name I cannot
give you—but without going into details, of all those from whom he
collected money, I doubt if anyone owed more than a mina.
