It is proper that we who are the city's inhabitants should pass binding sentences against our own number. We have come to the hearths of many others and have taken our stand on these same principles, and no one has had the hardihood to increase his own troubles. But they have come here either because they espy some folly in you or because out of desperation they are risking their all to see whether will or will not prove to be < such a mad and brainless fool>. For they surely do not expect that while you are in your right mind, you alone of all the
