[14] εἶτʼ, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, ὃν οἱ νόμοι μὲν πολλάκις ὑμῖν παραδεδώκασι τιμωρήσασθαι κατεψηφισμένον¹ ὑπὸ τῶν πολιτῶν ἐνδειχθέντα,² φυλάξαι δʼ³ οὔθʼ οἱ ἕνδεκα δεδύνηνται οὔτε τὸ δεσμωτήριον, τούτῳ βουλήσεσθε συμβούλῳ χρῆσθαι; καὶ ὁ μὲν νόμος εὐξάμενον⁴ κελεύει τὸν κήρυκα μετʼ εὐφημίας πολλῆς, οὕτως ὑμῖν τὸ βουλεύεσθαι περὶ τῶν πραγμάτων παραδιδόναι· ὑμεῖς δὲ τὸν ἀνόσιον καὶ περὶ πάντας πονηρὸν καὶ μάλιστα περὶ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ πατέρα γεγενημένον, τοῦτον μεθʼ ὑμῶν καὶ μετὰ τῶν ὑμετέρων οἰκείων καὶ συγγενῶν ἐάσετε πολιτεύεσθαι; καὶ Δημάδῃ μὲν καὶ Δημοσθένει οὐδεμίαν ὤεσθε δεῖν συγγνώμην ἔχειν,

Against Aristogiton Perseus (Dinarchus. Minor Attic Orators, Vol. 2. Burtt, J. O., translator. London: William Heinemann, Ltd.; Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1954 (printing).) — 14 focus

[14] Well then, Athenians, if a man has often been committed to you lawfully for punishment, condemned on information lodged by citizens, if neither the Eleven nor the prison have been able to restrain him, will you want to use him as a counsellor? The law demands that the herald shall first pray, amid dead silence, before he surrenders to you the task of deliberating on public affairs. Will you then allow an impious wretch, who has proved wicked in his dealings with everyone, and in particular his own father, to share in citizenship with you, with your families and kinsmen?
