since the fact of his evil plight he can readily establish in a suit brought against any
 other citizen whatever. And yet the accusations which should have great weight with you
 are not those which may be made even against those who are entirely guiltless, but those
 only which cannot be brought against any persons except those who have committed an act of
 injustice. To these allegations, this will perhaps be a sufficient reply and a further
 rebuttal soon will be possible. Also bear in mind, I ask you—even though I may be thought by someone to be repeating
 myself—that many persons are attentively watching the outcome of this case; not because
 they are interested in affairs, but because they believe that the covenant of Amnesty is
 on trial. Such persons, if your decision is just, you will enable to dwell in the city
 without fear; otherwise, how do you expect those who remained in the city to feel, if you
 show that you are angry with all alike who obtained the rights of citizenship?
