Then they have another argument ready; that even at
Athens in former generations men
who had rendered great services met with no recognition of this sort, but were
content with an inscription in the Hermes-Portico.In the Agora. The inscription （quoted by Aeschin. 3.83） was in honor of Cimon's
capture of Eion on the Strymon in
476. Perhaps indeed the inscription will be read to you. But in my
opinion, Athenians, this argument is in many ways prejudicial to the State,
besides being unju

But no, the law does not exist, men of
Athens; only this man, with his
pettifogging spite, because, when I was in charge of the theatric fund, I added
gifts of my own to that fund, says, “Ctesiphon gave him a vote of thanks before he had rendered his
accounts.” Yes, but the vote of thanks did not concern the accounts
which I had to render; it was for my own donations, you pettifogger!
“But you were also a Commissioner of Fortifications.” Why,
that is how I earned my vote of thanks: I made a present of the money I had
spent, and did not charge it to the public account. The account requires an
audit and checkers; the benefaction deserves gratitude and formal thanks, and
that is the very reason for Ctesiphon's

I, however, will explain the case to you, as truth and justice
demand. There were, men of Athens,
plenty of zealous citizens in former generations, and our city even then honored
its good men; only honors then, like everything else, reflected the temper of
the times, just as they now reflect the temper of today. And why do I say this?
Because for myself I should be inclined to assert that they did get from the
State everything that they wished.
Phlya (Greece) (search for this): speech 18, section 115
To prove the truth of my statement, please take and
read the actual words of the decrees made in the cases I have cited. Read.Decree[Archonship of Demonicus of Phlya, on the twenty-sixth day of Boedromion, with sanction
of Council and People: Callias of Phrearrii proposed that the Council and
People resolve to crown Nausicles, the commander of the infantry, because,
when Philo, the official paymaster, was prevented by storms from sailing
with pay for the two thousand Athenian infantry serving in Imbros to assist
the Athenian residents in that island, he paid them from his private means,
and did not send in a claim to the people; and that the crown be proclaimed
at the Dionysia at the performance of the new tragedies.]

Think then of a man, who had it in his power to be
counted among the innocent, choosing to fall out with them and to be accused as
an adherent of Philocrates, merely to let Philocrates make money, while he
accepts only the discredit and the peril! Could any human being be so senseless,
or so unlucky? No, indeed. You will find here, men of Athens, if you will only look at it in the
right way, a strong and sufficient proof that Aeschines did take bribes.
Euboea (Greece) (search for this): speech 20, section 115
What is my
evidence? Lysimachus,Son of Aristides the just,
pensioned for his father's merits. only one of the worthies of that
day, received a hundred roods of orchard in Euboea and a hundred of arable land, besides a hundred minas of
silver and a pension of four drachmas a day. And the decree in which these gifts
are recorded stands in the name of Alcibiades. For then our city was rich in
lands and money, though now—she will be rich some dayA euphemism for "she is poor."; for I must
put it in that way to avoid anything like obloquy. Yet today who, think you,
would not prefer a third of that reward to mere immunity? To prove the truth of
my words, please take the decree.

one was not
legally accountable; another was not present; a third had a brother-in-law in
Macedonia. Aeschines had no such
excuse. The truth is, he has sold himself once for all. Not only has he taken
hire for past actions, but it is evident that, if he escapes now, he will
henceforward, as against you, be Philip's man; and so, for fear of uttering a
single word injurious to Philip, even when you acquit him he does not accept
acquittal. He prefers disrepute, prosecution, any punishment this court may
inflict rather than to do anything disagreeable to Philip.

Again, men of
Athens, you must also consider
well and carefully the fact that you have come into court today, sworn to give
your verdict according to the laws, not of Sparta or Thebes,
nor those of our earliest ancestors, but those under which immunities were
granted to the men whom Leptines is now trying to rob by his law; and where
there are no statutes to guide you, you are sworn to decide according to the
best of your judgement. So far, so good. Then you must apply these principles to
the law as a whole.
