Callimachus denied this and as a violent quarrel ensued many others came running up;
 among them by chance Rhinon, who had become one of the Ten, approached. So Patrocles
 immediately laid information with him concerning the money and Rhinon led them both before
 his colleagues. These officials referred the matter to the Council During the rule of the Thirty, and of their successors the Ten, the judicial
 functions of the Athenian juries were usurped by the Council. ; after an
 adjudication, the money was declared the property of the state. Later, after the return of the citizen-exiles from Piraeus, Callimachus brought a charge
 against Patrocles and instituted proceedings against him on the ground that he was
 responsible for his loss. And when he had effected with him a settlement of the matter and
 had exacted from him ten minas of silver, Callimachus maliciously accused Lysimachus.
 Having obtained two hundred drachmas from him, he began to make trouble for me. At first
 he charged me with being the accomplice of the others; in the end, he came to such a pitch
 of impudence that he accused me as responsible for everything that had been done, and it
 may be that even now he will have the effrontery to make just such an accusation. In rebuttal, however, I will present to you as witnesses, first, those who were present
 at the beginning of the affair, who will testify that I did not arrest Callimachus nor did
 I touch the money; second, Rhinon and his colleagues, who will tell you that it was
 Patrocles, and not I, who denounced him to them; and finally, the members of the Council,
 who will attest that Patrocles was the accuser. Please call witnesses of these facts. Witnesses Although so many persons had been present when the events took place, Callimachus here,
 as if no one had any knowledge of the matter, himself mixed with the crowds, sat in the
 workshops, and related again and again his story, how he had suffered outrageous treatment
 at my hands and had been of his money. And some of his friends came to me and advised me
 to settle the dispute with him, and not deliberately to risk defamation and great
 financial loss, even though I had the greatest confidence in my cause; and they went on to
 say that many decisions rendered in the tribunals were contrary to the expectation of
 litigants, and that chance rather than justice determined the issue in your courts. Consequently,
 they asserted, it was in my interest to be freed of serious charges by paying a petty sum,
 rather than by paying nothing to run the risk of penalties of such gravity. Why need I
 relate to you all the details? They omitted none of the arguments which are customarily
 urged in such cases. In any case I was finally prevailed upon (for I will tell you the
 whole truth) to give him two hundred drachmas. But in order that it might not be in his
 power to blackmail me again, we committed the arbitration under stated terms A similar example of arbitration under the stated terms (i.e., limited arbitration, where the arbitrator had no discretonary power) is found in Isoc. 17.19 .
