[132]
You all remember Antiphon, the man who was struck off the register,
and came back to Athens after
promising Philip that he would set fire to the dockyard. When I had caught him
in hiding at Peiraeus, and brought him before the Assembly, this malignant
fellow raised a huge outcry about my scandalous and undemocratic conduct in
assaulting citizens in distress and breaking into houses without a warrant, and
so procured his acquittal.
