[122]

go beyond that? Has there ever been, or could there ever be, baseness to compare
with this of Meidias? He felt justified in informing against that unfortunate
man, who had done him no wrong—I waive the fact that he was his
friend—and at the same time he was begging him to bring about a
reconciliation between himself and me; and not content with this, he spent money
on an iniquitous attempt to procure my banishment as well as that of
Aristarchus.
