Well, then, when he
was on the point of sailing home for his trial, the defendant, while still in
Calaureia, borrowed from Antiphanes of Lamptrae,1 who sailed with Philip
the shipowner as his treasurer, the sum of one thousand drachmae to distribute
among the Boeotian trierarchs, that they might remain with the fleet until his
trial should come off, for fear lest, if the Boeotian fleet should first be
broken up and the troops scattered here and there to their homes, you might be
the more incensed against him.
1 Lamptrae was a deme of the tribe Erectheis.
