[175]
Now I propose,
men of Athens, to name those who
have been condemned by you, after an adverse vote of the Assembly, for violating
the festival, and to explain what some of them had done to incur your anger, so
that you may compare their guilt with that of Meidias. First of all then, to
begin with the most recent condemnation, the Assembly gave its verdict against
Euandrus of Thespiae for profanation of
the Mysteries on the charge of Menippus, a fellow from Caria. The law concerning the Mysteries is
identical with that concerning the Dionysia, and it was enacted later.
