[12] Was it not Aristogiton, Athenians, who made in writing such lying assertions about the priestess of Artemis Brauronia¹and her relatives, that when you discovered the truth from his accusers, you fined him five talents, a sum equal to the fine set down in an indictment for illegal proposals? Has he not persisted in maligning every one of you he meets, though he has not yet paid up, and in speaking and proposing measures in the Assembly, regardless of all the penalties against wrongdoers which the laws prescribe?

[12] οὐκ Ἀριστογείτων ἐστίν, ὦ Ἀθηναῖοι, ὁ κατὰ τῆς ἱερείας τῆς Ἀρτέμιδος τῆς Βραυρωνίας¹ καὶ τῶν οἰκείων αὐτῆς τοιαῦτα γράψας καὶ ψευσάμενος, ὥσθʼ ὑμᾶς, ἐπειδὴ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἐπύθεσθε παρὰ τῶν κατηγόρων, πέντε ταλάντων τιμῆσαι τούτῳ,² ὅσονπερ ἦν ἐπὶ τῇ τῶν παρανόμων γραφῇ τίμημα ἐπιγεγραμμένον; οὐχ³ οὗτος πρὶν ἐκτῖσαι τοῦτο, συκοφαντῶν τὸν ἐντυγχάνοντα ὑμῶν καὶ λέγων καὶ γράφων ἐν τῷ δήμῳ διατετέλεκε, καὶ καταφρονῶν ἁπασῶν τῶν τιμωριῶν αἳ κατὰ τῶν ἀδικούντων ἐν τοῖς νόμοις εἰσὶ γεγραμμέναι;

Against Aristogiton

1. The shrine of Artemis at Brauron in Attica was supposed to contain the image of the goddess brought from the Tauri by Iphigenia. There was also a temple of Artemis Brauronia, called τὸ ἱερὸν κυνηγέσιον, on the Acropolis ( cf. arg. ad Demosthenem 25.; Paus. 1.23.7 ).
