[107]
Or will you, for the city's sake, give a demonstration to
all alike of the hatred you bear towards traitors and those who, through love of
gain, betray the people's interests? All this now lies in your control, and the
fifteen hundred of you hold the city's safety in your hands. Your verdict of
today will either bring to Athens
great security, if you are willing to make a just decision, or else, if you
endorse such practices as this, drive all men to despondency.
