C. 429 (Thuc. 2.79; comp. Meineke, Fragm. Com. Graec.. vol. i. p. 177, ii. pp. 435, 436). It further appears, from a notice of him in the Symposium of Xeniophon (2.14), that in B. C. 422 he shrunk pusillanimously from serving in the expedition to Macedonia under Cleon (Thuc 5.2). If for this he was brought to trial on an a)stratei/as grafh/, of which, however, we have no evidence, it is possible, us Meineke suggests (Fragm. Com.

C. 415 appointed one of the commissioners (zhthtai\) for investigating the mystery of the mutilation of the Hermae, on which occasion he joined with Charictles in representing th outrage as connected with a conspiracy against the people, and thus inflaming the popular fury (Thuc. 6.27-29, 53, 60, &c.; Andoc. die Myst. pp. 5, 6). In B. C. 414 he was archon eponymus (Diod. 13.7); and towards the end of 412 he comes before us as the chief ostensible agent in effecting the revolution of the Four Hundred, having been sent about that time to Athens from the army at Samos to bring about the recall of Aleibiades and the overthrow of the democracy, or rather, according to his own professions, a modification of it. On his arrival, he urged these measures on his countrymen as the only means of obtaining the help of Persia, without which
