[21]
Remember that this man has caused a deal of harm and
has now been caught doing wrong in circumstances which make it shameful for you,
his judges, to release him unpunished. For if you do so, how are you going to
vote on the other reports, Athenians? What justification will you give for
having condemned those men whom you have already tried? What reason will you
have, when you were clearly anxious for the council to report those who had
taken the money, for failing obviously to punish the men whose names they
submit?
