[89]
Demosthenes himself proposed in the Assembly, clearly implying that it was a
just step to take, that we should keep for Alexander the money brought into
Attica with Harpalus.1 Tell me, sir: are we going to keep it under present conditions,
when you have taken twenty talents for personal use, someone else fifteen,
Demades six thousand gold staters, and the others the various sums that have
been credited to them? For sixty-four talents have already been traced, for
which, you must conclude, gentlemen, that these men are to be held responsible.
