[152]
You have heard
the evidence of the dispatch and the deposition, proving that at the outset
Charidemus sold his services to a country where he expected to fight against
you, though he had the choice of many other markets; that later, finding that in
that country he could do you no harm, he sailed back to a place where he had a
chance of operating against Athens;
and that he was the chief cause of your failure to take Amphipolis. Such were the early
exploits of Charidemus. You must now look at his later conduct.
