[14] καὶ Τιμοθέῳ¹ μέν, ὦ Ἀθηναῖοι, Πελοπόννησον περιπλεύσαντι καὶ τὴν ἐν Κερκύρᾳ ναυμαχίαν νικήσαντι Λακεδαιμονίους καὶ Κόνωνος υἱεῖ τοῦ τοὺς Ἕλληνας ἐλευθερώσαντος καὶ Σάμον λαβόντι² καὶ Μεθώνην καὶ Πύδναν καὶ Ποτείδαιαν καὶ πρὸς ταύταις ἑτέρας εἴκοσι πόλεις, οὐκ ἐποιήσασθʼ ὑπόλογον, οὐδὲ τῆς τότʼ ἐνεστώσης κρίσεως οὐδὲ τῶν ὅρκων, οὓς ὀμωμοκότες ἐφέρετε τὴν ψῆφον, ἀντικατηλλάξασθε³ τὰς τοιαύτας εὐεργεσίας, ἀλλʼ ἑκατὸν ταλάντων ἐτιμήσατε, ὅτι χρήματʼ αὐτὸν Ἀριστοφῶν⁴ ἔφη παρὰ Χίων εἰληφέναι καὶ Ῥοδίων·

[14] You made no allowance for Timotheus,¹ Athenians, although he sailed round the Peloponnese and defeated the Lacedaemonians in a naval battle at Corcyra , and was the son of Conon ² too who liberated Greece . Though he captured Samos , Methone , Pydna , Potidaea , and twenty other cities besides, you did not permit such services to outweigh the trial which you were then conducting or the oaths that governed your vote; instead you fined him a hundred talents because Aristophon said that he had accepted money from the Chians and Rhodians.
