To prove the truth of my statement, please take and
read the actual words of the decrees made in the cases I have cited. Read.“Decree[Archonship of Demonicus of Phlya, on the twenty-sixth day of Boedromion, with sanction
of Council and People: Callias of Phrearrii proposed that the Council and
People resolve to crown Nausicles, the commander of the infantry, because,
when Philo, the official paymaster, was prevented by storms from sailing
with pay for the two thousand Athenian infantry serving in Imbros to assist
the Athenian residents in that island, he paid them from his private means,
and did not send in a claim to the people; and that the crown be proclaimed
at the Dionysia at the performance of the new tragedies.]”
