Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 39 (search)
Have you, then,
at any place whatever produced the ship plain to see since the time you received
the money from us? And yet you yourself admit that she is safe. Or have you ever
since that time brought her back to the port of Athens, though the agreement expressly stipulates that you
shall bring your ship back to the Peiraeus, and produce her plain to see before
the lenders?
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 40 (search)
This is an important point, men
of Athens. Just observe the
extravagance of his statement. The ship was disabled, so he says, and for this
reason he brought her into the port of Rhodes. Well, then, after that she was repaired and became fit
for sea. Why, then, my good fellow, did you send her off to Egypt and to other ports, but have never up to
this day sent her back to Athens, to
odes. Well, then, after that she was repaired and became fit
for sea. Why, then, my good fellow, did you send her off to Egypt and to other ports, but have never up to
this day sent her back to Athens, to
us your creditors, to whom the agreement requires you to produce the ship, plain
to see and unimpaired, and that too although we made demand upon you again and
again and challenged you to do so?

Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 43 (search)
For if what occurred took place against their will,
and the ship was really disabled, afterwards, when they had repaired the ship,
they would surely not have let her for a voyage to other ports, but would have
despatched her to Athens to make
amends for the involuntary accident. As it is, however, they have not only made
no amends, but to their original wrongdoings they have added others greater far,
and have come here to contest the suit as it were in a spirit of mockery,
assuming that it will rest with them, if you give judgement against them, merely
to pay the principal and interest.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 44 (search)
Do not you,
then, men of Athens, suffer men of
this stamp to have their own way, nor allow them to ride on two anchors, with
the hope that, if they are successful, they will retain what belongs to others,
and if they are not able to hoodwink you, they will merely pay the bare amount
which they owe; but inflict upon them the penalties provided in the agreement.
For it would be an outrageous thing, when these men have themselves in writing
imposed upon themselves a penalty of double the amount, if they commit any
breach of the agreement, that you should be more lenient toward them; especially
when you have yourselves been wronged no less than we.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 45 (search)
Our claims in the matter,
therefore, are few and easy to be remembered. We lent this fellow Dionysodorus
and his partner three thousand drachmae for a voyage from Athens to Egypt and from Egypt
to Athens; we have not received
either principal or interest, but they have kept our money and had the use of it
for two years; they have not even to this day brought the ship back to your
Athens; we have not received
either principal or interest, but they have kept our money and had the use of it
for two years; they have not even to this day brought the ship back to your
port, nor produced it plain to see. The agreement, however, declares, that if
they fail to deliver up the ship plain to see they shall pay double the amount,
and that the money may be recovered from either one or both of them.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 47 (search)
Perhaps, men of
Athens, if we were trying the
case in a Rhodian court, these men might get the better of us, seeing that they
have taken grain to Rhodes and sailed
in their ship into that port; as it is, however, since we have come before
Athenians and our contract called for a voyage to your port, we hold it right
that you should give no advantage to men who have wronged you as well as
ourselves.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 48 (search)
Besides this, men of Athens, you
must not forget that, while you are today deciding one case alone you are fixing
a law for the whole port, and that many of those engaged in overseas trade are
standing here and watching you to see how you decide this question. For if you
hold that contracts and agreements made between man and man are to be binding,
and show no leniency towards those who transgress them, lenders will be more
ready to risk their money, and the business of your port will be increased.
Demosthenes, Against Dionysodorus, section 49 (search)
But if shipowners, after engaging in
written contracts to sail to Athens,
are to be permitted to put their ships into other ports, giving out that they
have been disabled, or advancing other pretexts such as these of which
Dionysodorus has availed himself, and to reduce the interest in proportion to
the length of the voyage which they say they have made instead of paying it
according to the agreement, there will be nothing to prevent the voiding of all
contracts.
Demosthenes, Against Eubulides, section 6 (search)
I beg of you, men of Athens, not until I have been heard, to take my rejection by
the demesmen as a proof that I am not entitled to citizenship, for if you
thought that the demesmen would be able to decide all cases with perfect
justice, you would not have allowed the appeal to yourselves. As it is, however,
because you thought that something of this sort might occur through rivalry and
malice and justice, you would not have allowed the appeal to yourselves. As it is, however,
because you thought that something of this sort might occur through rivalry and
malice and enmity or through some other pretexts, you made your court a place of
refuge for those who have been wronged, and through this right action on your
part, men of Athens, you have saved
all those who have suffered wrong.
