[7] οὐκ ἀποκτενεῖτε, ὦ Ἀθηναῖοι, πάντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν τὸν εἰς τοσαύτην αἰσχύνην καὶ ἀδικίαν πολλοὺς τῶν πολιτῶν¹ ἐμβεβληκότα, τὸν ἀρχηγὸν γενόμενον τοῦ διαδεδομένου χρυσίου καὶ εἰς αἰτίαν καθιστάντα² πᾶσαν τὴν πόλιν; ἀλλʼ ὑπομενεῖτʼ ἀκούειν τοῦ τοσαῦτα διαπεπραγμένου καθʼ ὑμῶν, ὡς [ὅτι]³ τὸ συνέδριον τὸ ἐν Ἀρείῳ πάγῳ ψευδεῖς πεποίηται τὰς ἀποφάσεις, καὶ ὡς αὐτὸς μὲν δίκαιος καὶ χρηστὸς καὶ ἀδωροδόκητός ἐστιν, ἡ δʼ ἐξ Ἀρείου πάγου βουλὴ ταῦτα πάντα προεῖται χάριτος ἢ λημμάτων⁴ ἕνεκα;

Against Philocles Perseus (Dinarchus. Minor Attic Orators, Vol. 2. Burtt, J. O., translator. London: William Heinemann, Ltd.; Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1954 (printing).) — 7 focus

[7] Athenians, will you not all unite in killing one who has plunged many of our citizens into such deep disgrace and guilt, who first opened the way for the gold that has been distributed, exposing the whole of Athens to blame? Or will you consent to hear this man, who has done so much to harm you, argue that the council of the Areopagus has falsified the reports and that, while he is just and upright and incorruptible, it has published all this in return for favors or bribes?
