[159]
I am simply
amazed at the effrontery of the pair of them,—of Timocrates, if he
calls Androtion, and of Androtion, if he appears and speaks for the defence;
for, of course, you will then have the clearest testimony that Timocrates
proposed his law for the special benefit of Androtion, not as a law of general
application. Nevertheless, it will be useful to you to hear a brief account of
Androtion's political performances, including those in which the defendant took
part, and for which he, no less than the other, should be the just object of
your detestation. I will tell you nothing that you have heard already, unless
indeed any of you were in court at the trials of Euctemon.
