<Will you then
acquit>1 this abominable man,
reported not by one individual but by the whole council of the Areopagus, after
an investigation, to be holding bribes against you; who, though he has ample
means and no male heirs and lacks nothing else that a normal man could need, did
not withhold his hand from the bribes offered against his country or suppress
his natural depravity, but destroyed entirely his reputation for loyalty towards
you, by ranging himself with those whom he once professed to oppose and proving
that his counterfeited honesty was sham?
1 An apodosis conveying some such meaning as this, which is needed to complete the sense of the sentence, seems to have dropped out of the Greek text.
Dinarchus. Minor Attic Orators in two volumes, 2, with an English translation by J. O. Burtt, M.A. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1962.
