[42]
The principal man in stirring up all the Greeks,—he who is sitting with the
prosecutors,—Heraclides of Temnos, a silly chattering fellow, but (in his own
opinion) so learned, that he calls himself even their tutor, and so ambitious, that he salutes
all of you and of us every day. Old as he is, he has not yet been able to get admission into
the senate of Temnos; and he, the man who professes himself able to teach the art of speaking
to others, has himself been convicted in some very discreditable trials.
