[165]
What do you think of this, men of
Athens? A poor man, or, for the
matter of that, a rich man, who had spent a great deal and was, perhaps, in a
certain sense short of money, was not only afraid to show himself in the
market-place, but found it unsafe even to stay at home. And to think that
Androtion was responsible for those fears,—Androtion, whose past life
and conduct disqualify him for seeking satisfaction at law even for himself,
much more for imposing Property-taxes for the State.
