[1] ¹So then, concerning the team of horses²—that my father was in possession of them, not by having taken them away from Teisias, but by having purchased them from the Argive state—you have heard both the Argive ambassadors and the others conversant with the facts testify. But in just this same fashion all are accustomed maliciously to accuse me.

[1] περὶ μὲν οὖν τοῦ ζεύγους τῶν ἵππων, ὡς οὐκ ἀφελόμενος ὁ πατὴρ Τεισίαν εἶχεν, ἀλλὰ πριάμενος παρὰ τῆς πόλεως τῆς Ἀργείων, τῶν τε πρέσβεων τῶν ἐκεῖθεν ἡκόντων καὶ τῶν ἄλλων τῶν εἰδότων ἀκηκόατε μαρτυρούντων· τὸν αὐτὸν δὲ τρόπον ἅπαντές εἰσιν εἰθισμένοι με συκοφαντεῖν.

Notes on the current edition

Concerning the Team of Horses

1. It should be noted that we have only the second part of the speech, the eulogy of Alcibiades the elder; the first part must have presented the statement of facts and the citation of evidence.

2. The “team” consisted of four race-horses.
