Despite this,
gentlemen of the jury, Demosthenes is so ready with his lies and utterly unsound
assertions, so oblivious of shame, exposure, or curse, that he will dare to say
of me, I gather, that I too was previously condemned by the council. According

opposed the council's report and pleaded my own case, whereas I am now serving
as its advocate and accusing him over the report before us today.
