[80] Now if one of you should ask me, How do you know that we would vote against him? I should answer, Because you have spoken out and told me. And I will remind you when and where each man of you speaks and tells me: it is every time that Timarchus mounts the platform in the assembly; and the senate spoke out, when last year he was a member of the senate. For every time he used such words as walls or tower that needed repairing, or told how so-and-so had been taken off somewhere, you immediately laughed and shouted, and yourselves spoke the words that belong to those exploits of which he, to your knowledge, is guilty.¹
