In accordance
with this agreement, men of the jury, Dionysodorus here and his partner
Parmeniscus, when they had got the money from us, despatched their ship from
Athens to Egypt. Parmeniscus sailed in charge of the
ship; Dionysodorus remained at Athens. All these men, I would have you know, men of the jury,
were underlings and confederates of Cleomenes, the former ruler of Egypt,1 who from the time he received the
government did no small harm to your state, or rather to the rest of the Greeks
as well, by buying up grain for resale and fixing its price, and in this he had
these men as his confederates.
