Though formerly you confined yourselves to the charges I have mentioned, your arrogance is now such that, when the people of PeparethusSee Dem. 7 complained of the latest outrage, you instructed your general to demand redress from me on their behalf. I actually punished them less rigorously than they deserved, for they seized Halonnesus in time of peace and refused to restore either the fortress or the garrison in spite of my repeated remonstrances.
