[117]
You may judge that
what I am telling you is true by reflecting that, if Euctemon had been convicted
on the charge of illegal legislation, Timocrates would never have proposed his
law, and the State would never have wanted his law; his friends would have been
content to plunder the property of the State, without any concern for other
people. But in fact Euctemon was acquitted and therefore Timocrates demands that
your decision, the judgement of the court, and every other statute shall be
invalidated, and that he and his law shall alone be authoritative.
