[43] εἴπατέ μοι πρὸς Διός, ὦ ἄνδρες, προῖκα τοῦτον οἴεσθε γράψαι Διφίλῳ τὴν ἐν πρυτανείῳ σίτησιν, καὶ τὴν εἰς τὴν ἀγορὰν ἀνατεθησομένην¹ εἰκόνα; ἢ τὸ ποιῆσαι πολίτας ὑμετέρους² Χαιρέφιλον καὶ Φείδωνα καὶ Πάμφιλον καὶ Φείδιππον,³ ἢ πάλιν Ἐπιγένην καὶ Κόνωνα τοὺς τραπεζίτας; ἢ τὸ χαλκοῦς ἐν ἀγορᾷ στῆσαι Βηρισάδην⁴ καὶ Σάτυρον καὶ Γόργιππον τοὺς ἐκ τοῦ Πόντου⁵ τυράννους, παρʼ ὧν αὐτῷ χίλιοι μέδιμνοι⁶ τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ πυρῶν ἀποστέλλονται τῷ οὐδʼ ὅποι⁷ καταφύγῃ αὐτίκα φήσοντι εἶναι;

[43] Really, gentlemen, tell me: do you think he got nothing for proposing that Diphilus¹ should have meals at the Prytaneum or for that statue to be put up in the market? Nothing for conferring Athenian citizenship on Chaerephilus, Phidon, Pamphilus, and Phidippus, or again on Epigenes and Conon the bankers? Nothing for putting up in the market bronze statues of Berisades, Satyrus and Gorgippus the tyrants from the Pontus , from whom he receives a thousand medimni of wheat a year—this man who will presently tell you that there is nowhere for him to take refuge.
