Surely it would have been right and proper,
men of Athens, that those who claim
to receive a crown from you, should show that they are worthy of it, and not
speak ill of me. But since they leave out the former of these two things and do
the latter, I shall show that they are speaking falsely both in their praise of
themselves and in their slander of me; and I shall prove this by their own deeds
and by mine.
