Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 1 (search)
There is after
all, men of Athens, nothing more
vexatious than to have a neighbor who is base and covetous; the very thing which
has fallen to my lot. For Callicles, having set his heart on my land, has
pestered me with malicious and baseless litigation: in the first place he
suborned his cousin to claim my property,
Demosthenes, Against Conon, section 1 (search)
Demosthenes, Against Neaera, section 1 (search)
Many indeed are the reasons, men of Athens, which urged me to prefer this
indictment against Neaera, and to come before you. We have suffered grievous
wrongs at the hands of Stephanus and have been brought by him into the most
extreme peril, I mean my father-in-law, myself, my sister, and my wife; so that
I shall enter upon this trial, not as an aggressor, but as one seeking
vengeance. For Stephanus was the one who began our quarrel without ever having
been wronged by us in word or deed. I wish at the outset to state before you the
wrongs which we have suffered at this hands, in order that you may feel more
indulgence for me as I seek to defend myself and to show you into what extreme
danger we were brought by him of losing our country and our civic rights.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 11 (search)
We on our part, as soon as we learned what had taken place, were
greatly dismayed at his action, and went to this man, who was the prime mover in
the whole plot, complaining angrily, as was natural, that although we had
expressedly stipulated in the agreement that the ship should sail to no other
port than to Athens, and had lent
our money on this condition, he had left us open to suspicion with people who
might wish to accuse and say that we also had been partners to the conveyance of
the grain to Rhodes; and complaining
also that he and his partner, despite their agreement to do so, had not brought
the ship back to your port.
Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 12 (search)
To prove that I
am speaking the truth in this, I shall bring before you as witnesses those who
know the facts, and circumstantial evidence, men of Athens, far stronger than any testimony.
Callicles says that I am doing him an injury by having walled off the
watercourse; but I shall show that this is private land and no watercourse.
Demosthenes, On the Trierarchic Crown, section 12 (search)
More than this, it
seems to me to be absurd that, when a man says anything contrary to law, he
should, if he is convicted, be deprived of one third of his personal
rights,Precisely what this partial a)timi/a （disfranchisement）
was, it is impossible to state definitely. while those guilty not of
words but of acts that are illegal should pay no penalty. Surely, men of
Athens, you would all say that
leniency in regard to such offences merely trains up others to commit them.
Demosthenes, On the Trierarchic Crown, section 14 (search)
so that, if one looks at the matter
frankly, he will find that triremes such as these have sailed forth, not for
you, but against you. For a man who serves as trierarch in the interest of
Athens ought not to expect to
grow rich at the public expense, but ought by means of his own resources to
repair the losses of the state, if you are to have the service which you need.
But each commander goes out determined to pursue the opposite course, and the
losses resulting from their own evil ways are repaired by the damages which fall
on you.
Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 14 (search)
Well, both these things have been done. For not only were
the trees planted before my father built the wall, but the tombs are old, and
were built before we acquired the property. Yet, since this is the case, what
stronger argument could there be, men of Athens? The facts afford manifest proof.Now please take all these depositions, and read them.
Depositions
Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 15 (search)
Men of
Athens, you hear the
depositions. Do they not appear to you to testify expressly that it is a place
full of trees, and that it contains some tombs and other things which are to be
found in most private pieces of land? Do they not prove also that the land was
walled in during the lifetime of their father without opposition being made by
these men or any other of the neighbors?
