Perhaps
you will not attempt to argue thus, Demosthenes, but will say that of those whom
the council has reported up till now the rest have admitted that the penalty
which it imposed was deserved, whereas you alone have protested against it. But
you alone, of all those ever reported, asked these men of your own accord to be
your judges and court of inquiry. You proposed the decree against yourself and
made the people witness of the agreement, defining the penalty for yourself as
death, if the council should report that you had taken any of the money brought
into the country by Harpalus.
