[56] This Hegesandrus, whom you know better than I, arrives. It happened that he had at that time sailed to the Hellespont as treasurer to the general Timomachus, of the deme Acharnae; and he returned, having made the most, it is said, of the simple-mindedness of the general, for he had in his possession no less than eighty minas of silver. Indeed, he proved to be, in a way, largely responsible for the fate of Timomachus.¹

[56] οὗτος ὁ Ἡγήσανδρος ἀφικνεῖται, ὃν ὑμεῖς ἴστε κάλλιον ἢ ἐγώ. ἔτυχε δὲ τότε συμπλεύσας εἰς Ἑλλήσποντον ταμίας Τιμομάχῳ τῷ Ἀχαρνεῖ τῷ στρατηγήσαντι, καὶ ἧκε δεῦρο ἀπολελαυκώς, ὡς λέγεται, τῆς ἐκείνου εὐηθείας, ἔχων οὐκ ἐλάττους ὀγδοήκοντα μνᾶς ἀργυρίου· καὶ τρόπον τινὰ οὐχ ἥκιστα αἴτιος ἐγένετο Τιμομάχῳ τῆς συμφορᾶς.
