[14]
You must remember these, Athenians, and
not make light of the reports published by the council. <Treat this
case>1 as you treated those on which you have already passed
judgement. For it is shameful to grow weary of punishing men who have proved
traitors to the city, and shameful that any lawbreakers and reprobates should
survive, when the gods have exposed them and surrendered them to you for
punishment, having seen that the whole people had accused Philocles and handed
him over first of all to meet with his deserts before you.
1 The sense of this passage is evident, though it is not clear whether Dinarchus is expressing himself loosely or whether, as Blass suggests, a few words have dropped out of the text.
Dinarchus. Minor Attic Orators in two volumes, 2, with an English translation by J. O. Burtt, M.A. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1962.
