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 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 profit by the
carrying of grain to Rhodes, and by
keeping and making use of our money for two years.

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
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 42 (search)
For who other than this
fellow is to blame, men of the jury, if the ship did not arrive safe at the
Peiraeus? Are we to blame, who lent our money expressly for a voyage to
Egypt and to Athens, or is it the fault of this fellow
and his partner, who after borrowing money on these terms, that the vessel
should return to Athens, then took
her to Rhodes? And that they did this
of their own will and not of necessity is clear on many grounds.
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
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
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.
