[5] And consider, gentlemen, if you have not found sufficient proof that none of the commanders in the army up to that time was a supporter of Alcibiades. For if their statement¹ is true, they ought to have cited Pamphilus² for depriving the city of a horseman by taking away his horse; to have mulcted the squadron-commander for expelling Alcibiades from the squadron to the confusion of the order they had settled; and to have instructed the commander to erase his name from the roll of the infantry.

[5] σκέψασθε δέ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ἐὰν ἱκανὸν γένηται τεκμήριον ὅτι οὐδείς πω τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐν τῷ στρατοπέδῳ Ἀλκιβιάδῃ ἦν παρεσκευασμένος. ἐχρῆν γὰρ αὐτούς, εἴπερ ἀληθῆ λέγουσιν, ἀνακαλεῖν μὲν Πάμφιλον, ὅτι ἀφαιρῶν τὸν ἵππον ἱππέως ἀπεστέρει τὴν πόλιν, ἐπιβάλλειν δὲ τῷ φυλάρχῳ, ὅτι ἐξελαύνων Ἀλκιβιάδην ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς ἄκυρον ἐποίει τὴν τούτων τάξιν, κελεύειν δὲ τὸν ταξίαρχον ἐξαλείφειν αὐτὸν ἐκ τοῦ τῶν ὁπλιτῶν καταλόγου.
