[15]
Will you then absolve this abominable wretch, this Scythian,—really
I cannot contain myself,—whom no mere individual but the whole
Areopagus has shown, after inquiry, to be in possession of money to your
detriment, whose bribery and corruption against the city have been revealed and
established beyond doubt? Will you not punish him and make him an example to
others? He is known not only to have taken gold from the royal treasuries1 but also to have enriched himself at the city's own
expense, since he did not even withhold his hand from the money lately brought
to her by Harpalus.
