If anyone asked him,—or asked you, Timocrates, the
apologist and abettor of that gang,—whether our property or our
persons are amenable to taxation, you would reply, if you chose to tell the
truth, our property, because it is from our property that we pay. Then why, you
unparalleled scoundrels, instead of confiscating estates and houses, and putting
them on the schedule, did you imprison and maltreat men who were full citizens,
as well as those unhappy aliens, whom you treated more outrageously than your
own domestic slaves?
