He will say, gentlemen, attempting to deceive you, that in the time of the Four Hundred 411 B.C.; cf. Lys. 12.42 . he killed Phrynichus, A prominent member of the Four Hundred; cf. Thuc. 8.92 . and in reward for this, he asserts, the people made him an Athenian citizen. But he lies, gentlemen. For neither did he kill Phrynichus, nor did the people make him an Athenian citizen. It was Thrasybulus of Calydon and Apollodorus of Megara , gentlemen, who combined in a plot against Phrynichus: they lighted on him as he was out walking, and Thrasybulus struck Phrynichus, knocking him down with the blow; but Apollodorus did not touch him. Meanwhile an outcry arose, and they ran off and disappeared. But Agoratus here was neither invited to join them nor was present at the deed, nor does he know anything of the matter. The truth of my statement will be shown you by the decree itself.
