Of these last named it will be found that I have been one; and I should be the most
 miserable of all men, if, after I have spent much of my fortune for the good of the city,
 it should be thought that I plot against the property of others, and that I care naught
 for your poor opinion of me; when it is obvious that I set less store, not merely on my
 property, but even on my life, than on your good opinion. Who among you would not feel remorse, even if not immediately, yet soon hereafter, if you
 should see the calumniator enriched, but me despoiled even of that which I left remaining
 when serving you as trierarch: and if you should see this man, who never even ran a risk
 on your behalf, influential enough to override both the laws and the covenant of Amnesty,
 and me, who have been so zealous in serving the state, adjudged unworthy of obtaining
 even my just rights? And who would not reproach you, if, cajoled by the words of
 Callimachus, you should find me of such baseness, you who, when you judged us on the
 strength of our deeds, crowned us for our bravery at a time when it was not so easy as it
 is now to win that honor?
