Demosthenes, For the Megalopolitans, section 16 (search)
The policy of the
Lacedaemonians seems to me to be very sharp practice. For they now say that

Yes, these are
formidable offences, calling for the utmost vigilance and precaution; while the
charges you brought against those two men were comparatively ludicrous, as these

government there?
