[173]
But at any rate you know this, that when he had been made
steward of the Paralus, he plundered the people of Cyzicus of more than five talents, and to

keeps the money himself. Since he was appointed its commander, he has ruined
your cavalry force, getting laws passed which he afterwards disowned.
