Now, as for Thrasybulus, men of Athens ,—for there is no need to say more about him,—he did well to end his life as he did He was killed in a riot at Aspendus , 389 -388 B.C. : for it was not right for him either to live in the prosecution of such schemes or to suffer death at your hands with his repute of having served you well in the past, but rather to settle his account with the city in that sort of way. But the others, I see, in consequence of the Assembly that was held two days ago, When Ergocles had been voted guilty. are no longer sparing their money, but are purchasing their lives from the speakers, from their enemies, and from the Committee, See Lys. 22.2 and note. and are corrupting numerous Athenians with hard cash. It is your duty to clear yourselves of that suspicion by punishing this man today, and to make it plain to all people that there is no sum large enough to overcome you in your purpose of exacting requital from the guilty.
