And
has Archebiades forsooth sunk to such an extreme of baseness as to testify
against Callippus, a fellow-demesman of his own, one in public life, and an

false testimony, or to do no more than put him on oath, he will be compelled to
take whatever oath Callippus may require?
Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by Norman W. DeWitt, Ph.D., and Norman J. DeWitt, Ph.D. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1949.
