Demosthenes Theomnestus and Apollodorus Against Neaera 4

[4] You were at that time on the point of sending your entire force to Euboea and Olynthus , ¹ and Apollodorus, being one of its members, brought forward in the senate a bill, and carried it as a preliminary decree ² to the assembly, proposing that the people should decide whether the funds remaining over from the state’s expenditure should be used for military purposes or for public spectacles. For the laws prescribed that, when there was war, the funds remaining over from state expenditures should be devoted to military purposes, and Apollodorus believed that the people ought to have power to do what they pleased with their own; and he had sworn that, as member of the senate, he would act for the best interests of the Athenian people, as you all bore witness at that crisis.
