[55]
For my part, I think that, while the generals and those in
command of your ships of war, and not you, are to blame for mishaps which occur
during a voyage, yet for mishaps in the Peiraeus and before the magistrates you
are to blame, since you have all these persons under your control. Wherefore it
is even more necessary to watch those who transgress the laws here at home than
those who fail to abide by your decrees abroad, in order that you may not
yourselves be thought to look with complaisance upon what is going on and in a
measure to connive at the doings of these men.
