[187]
Of Androtion I may speak at greater length hereafter. As
for what he will say in support of Timocrates, I have still much more to say,
but I will refrain. I am sure that he will not be able to deny that this law is
undesirable, that it was introduced unconstitutionally, and that it is
iniquitous in every respect; but I understand that he alleges that the money has
now been paid in full by Androtion, Glaucetes, and Melanopus, and that he would
be most infamously treated if, when the people on whose behalf he is accused of
proposing his law have made full restitution, he should nevertheless be
convicted.
