So the vessels that were saved were twelve in number; and two were brought away for you by myself,—my own warship, and that of Nausimachus.
After so many dangers encountered in your defence, and after all the services that I have rendered to the city, I now request, not a boon for my reward, as others do, but that I be not deprived of my own property; for I consider it a disgrace to you also, to take it both with my will and against my will.
