Yet the embassies to
Thebes which Demosthenes
undertook are equivalent to a mere fraction of Timotheus' services; and which of
you, contrasting with the exploits on which Demosthenes prides himself those
which Timotheus and Conon performed on
your behalf, would not laugh to scorn all who consented to listen to this man?
But then there should be no comparison made between this outcast and the men who
in your interests acted worthily of the city and your ancestors. I will
therefore cite the decree which was passed concerning Timotheus and then return
to my review of the defendant. Read.“
