A single
plea, men of Athens, I bring before
you to answer all the arguments of these men, a just one. My father built the
wall around this land almost before I was born, while Callippides, the father of

Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by Norman W. DeWitt, Ph.D., and Norman J. DeWitt, Ph.D. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1949.
