I am astonished that, while he judges himself capable of recognizing that it was not
 probable that he was willing to take two hundred drachmas instead of the ten thousand, yet
 believes that I am incapable of discovering, if I had wished to lie, that I ought to have
 asserted that I had given him more. But this I ask—that in so far as it would have been an
 indication in his favor that the arbitration did not take place, if he had proved the
 falsity of the testimony, to that same extent it shall be proof in favor of my contention
 that I tell the truth concerning the arbitration, inasmuch as it is clearly shown that he
 did not dare to proceed against my witness. I think, however, that even if there had been neither arbitration nor witnesses to the
 actual facts and you were under the necessity of considering the case in the light of the
 probabilities, not even in this event would you have difficulty in arriving at a just
 verdict. For if I were so audacious a man as to wrong others, you would with good reason
 condemn me as doing wrong to him also; but as it is, I shall be found innocent of having
 harmed any citizen in regard to his property, or of jeopardizing his life, or of having
 expunged his name from the list of active citizens, or of having inscribed his name on
 Lysander’s list. A list of citizens who were deprived of
 their civic rights; cf. Isoc. 21.2 and Xen. Hell. 2.3.17-19 . 
 And yet the wickedness of the Thirty For the crimes of the
 Thirty see the vivid account by Lysias in his speech Against
 Eratosthenes . impelled many to act in this way for they not only did not
 punish the evil-doers but they even commanded some persons to do wrong. So as for me, not
 even when they had control of the government, shall I be found guilty of any such misdeed;
 yet Callimachus says that he was wronged after the Thirty had been expelled, the Piraeus
 had been taken, and when the democracy was in power, and the terms of reconciliation were
 being discussed.
