Demosthenes Against Phormio 37

[37] And he did this, men of the jury, though he was resident at Athens, and had a wife and children here, and although the laws have prescribed the severest penalties if anyone resident at Athens should transport grain to any other place than to the Athenian market; besides, he did this at a critical time, when those of you who dwelt in the city were having their barley-meal measured out to them in the Odeum, ¹ and those who dwelt in Peiraeus were receiving their loaves at an obol each in the dockyard and in the long-porch, ² having their meal measured out to them a gallon ³ at a time, and being nearly trampled to death.

In proof that my words are true, take, please, the deposition and the law.
