Bosporus (Turkey) (search for this): speech 34, section 25
Now, men of the jury, is there a man, or will
the man ever be born, who, instead of twenty-six hundred drachmae would prefer
to pay thirty minae and three hundred and sixty drachmae, and as interest five
hundred and sixty drachmae by virtue of his loan, both which sums Phormio says
he has paid Lampis, in all three thousand nine hundred and twenty drachmae? And
when he might have paid the money in Athens, seeing that it had been lent for the double voyage, has
he paid it in Bosporus, and too much by
thirteen minae?

Besides all this, my mother is shown to have
been first given in marriage to Cleomedon, whose father Cleon, we are told,A striking instance of the Greek preference for
the spoken rather than the written word. commanded troops among whom
were your ancestors, and captured alive a large number of Lacedaemonians in
Pylos,This was in 425 B.C. The account is given in Thuc.
4.3 ff. and won greater renown than any other man in the
state; so it was not fitting that the son of that famous man should wed my
mother without a dowry, nor is it likely that Menexenus and Bathyllus, who had
large fortunes themselves, and who, after Cleomedon's death, received back the
dowry, defrauded their own sister; rather, they would themselves have added to
her portion, when they gave her in marriage

At the same time (for, men of
Athens, the whole truth shall be
told you), we on our part, who had made the loan, came to a quarrel and
felt bitter against him (for the loss on the grain was falling on
us), and charged that he had secured for us this pettifogging scoundrel
instead of our money. After this, being manifestly none too honest by nature, he
went over to their side, and agreed to let judgement go by default in the suit
which Zenothemis had brought against him before they had come to an agreement

And you had no fear of those men, to
whom their agreements gave the right of exacting payment in Bosporus, but declare that you had regard for
the claims of my partner, though you wronged him at the outset by not putting on
board the goods according to your agreement in setting out from Athens? And now that you have come back to
the port where the loan was made, you do not hesitate to defraud the lender,
though you claim to have done more than justice required in Bosporus, where you were not likely to be
punished?

All other men who borrow for the
outward and homeward voyage, when they are about to set sail from their several
ports, take care to have many witnesses present, and call upon them to attest
that the lender's risk begins from that momentThat is, from the moment of sailing.; but you rely upon the single
testimony of the very man who is your partner in the fraud. You did not bring as
a witness my slave who was in Bosporus
or my partner, nor did you deliver to them the letters which we gave into your
charge, and in which were written instructions that they should keep close watch
on you in whatever you might do!
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 34, section 29
Why, men of
Athens, what is there which a
man of this stamp is not capable of doing, who, after receiving letters, did not
deliver them in due and proper course? Or how can you fail to see that his own
acts prove his guilt? Surely (O Earth and the Gods) when he
was paying back so large a sum, and more than the amount of his loan, it was
fitting that he should make it a much talked of event on the exchange and to
invite all men to be present; but especially the servant and partner of

With
reference to the special plea my argument is a brief one. For even the
defendants do not absolutely deny that a contract was made on your exchangeThe word rendered “exchange”
or “market,” may well designate merely the Peiraeus,
which was in a very real sense the e)mpo/rion of Athens.; but they claim that there exists no longer
any obligation on their part due to the contract, for they have done nothing
that contravenes the terms of the agr

There is yet another way in
which they hope to deceive and trick you. They will accuse Demosthenes, and will
say that I relied upon his help when I put Zenothemis out of possession of the
grain, assuming that this charge will be credited because he is an orator and a
well-known personage. Demosthenes, men of Athens, is indeed my blood-relation (I swear to you by
all the gods that I shall speak the truth
