Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 21 (search)
But hear what he says in reply to this.
He alleges that the ship was disabled on the voyage from Egypt, and that for this reason he was obliged
to touch at Rhodes and unlade the grain
there. And as a proof of this he states that he chartered ships from Rhodes and shipped some of his goods to
Athens. This is one part of his
defence, and here is another. But hear what he says in reply to this.

Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 22 (search)
He claims that
some other creditors of his have agreed to accept from him interest as far as
Rhodes, and that it would be hard
indeed if we should not make the same concession that they have made. And
thirdly, besides all this, he declares that the agreement requires him to pay
the money if the ship arrives safely, but that the ship has not arrived safely
in the Peiraeus. To each of these arguments, men of the jury, hear the just
answer that we make.

Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 25 (search)
For why, pray, was it that, when you had
hired other bottoms, as you say, you did not tranship the entire cargo of your
vessel, but left the grain there in Rhodes? Because, men of the jury, it was to their interest to
sell the grain in Rhodes; for they
heard that the price had fallen here in Athens, but they shipped to you the other goods, from which
they hoped to make a profit. When, then, Dionysthere in Rhodes? Because, men of the jury, it was to their interest to
sell the grain in Rhodes; for they
heard that the price had fallen here in Athens, but they shipped to you the other goods, from which
they hoped to make a profit. When, then, Dionysodorus, you talk about the
chartering of the vessels, you give proof, not that your ship was disabled, but
that it was to your advantage to do so.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 26 (search)
Concerning these matters, then, what I have
said is sufficient, but in regard to the creditors, who, they say, consented to
accept from them the interest as far as Rhodes, this has nothing to do with us. If any man has remitted
to you any part of what was due him, no wrong is suffered by either party to the
arrangement. But we have not remitted anything to you, nor have we consented to
your voyageto the creditors, who, they say, consented to
accept from them the interest as far as Rhodes, this has nothing to do with us. If any man has remitted
to you any part of what was due him, no wrong is suffered by either party to the
arrangement. But we have not remitted anything to you, nor have we consented to
your voyage to Rhodes, nor in our
judgement is anything more binding than the agreement.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 28 (search)
If certain people have remitted anything
in your favor, and have been induced on one ground or another to accept interest
only as far as Rhodes, does it follow
that you are doing no wrong to us, your agreement with whom you have broken in
having your ship put into Rhodes? I do
not think so. For this jury is not now deciding upon concessions made to you by
others, but upon an ag you have broken in
having your ship put into Rhodes? I do
not think so. For this jury is not now deciding upon concessions made to you by
others, but upon an agreement entered into by you yourself with us. For that the
remission of the interest, supposing that it actually took place, as these men
allege, was to the advantage of the creditors, is plain to every one of you.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 29 (search)
For those who lent their money to these
men for the outward voyage from Egypt
to Athens, when they reached
Rhodes and this man put into that
port, suffered no loss, I take it, by remitting the interest and receiving the
amount of their loan at Rhodes, and
then putting the money to work again for a voyage to Egypt. No; this was more to their advantage

Rhodes and this man put into that
port, suffered no loss, I take it, by remitting the interest and receiving the
amount of their loan at Rhodes, and
then putting the money to work again for a voyage to Egypt. No; this was more to their advantage
than to continue the voyage to this port.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 30 (search)
For
voyaging from Rhodes to Egypt is uninterrupted, and they could put the
same money to work two or three times, whereas here they would have had to pass
the winter and to await the season for sailing. These creditors therefore have
reaped an additional profit, and have not remitted anything to these men. With
us, however, it is not a question of the interest merely, but we are unable to
recover even our principal.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 32 (search)
But I should be glad to ask you yourself, Dionysodorus,
whether you are speaking of the ship as having been lost, or as having arrived
safe. For if the ship has been wrecked and is lost, why do you keep on disputing
about the interest and demanding that we accept interest as far as Rhodes? For in that case we have not the right
to recover either interest or principal. But if the ship is safe and has not
been wrecked, why do you not pay us the money which you agreed to pay?
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 34 (search)
Now
consider, men of Athens, whether it
is we who are abiding by the requirements of the contract, or whether it is
these men, who have sailed, not to the port agreed upon, but to Rhodes and Egypt, and who, when the ship has reached port safe and has not
been lost, claim to be entitled to an abatement of the interest, although they
have broken the agreement, and have themselves made a large profitct, or whether it is
these men, who have sailed, not to the port agreed upon, but to Rhodes and Egypt, and who, when the ship has reached port safe and has not
been lost, claim to be entitled to an abatement of the interest, although they
have broken the agreement, and have themselves made a large profit by the
carrying of grain to Rhodes, and by
keeping and making use of our money for two years.
