Now tell me, how can you forgive these persons, when you see the fleet that they commanded breaking up for want of money and dwindling in numbers, Diodorus Siculus ( Dio. Sic. 14.94 ) mentions a storm in which Thrasybulus lost 23 warships. while these men, who were poor and needy on sailing out, have so quickly acquired the largest fortune in the city? It is your duty, therefore, men of Athens , to show indignation at such conduct.
