“Since you
say, Polycles, that your associate in the trierarchy has not come, I will get
from him, if I can, the amount expended during my extra time of service, the
four months; but do you take over the ship, and first serve as trierarch for
your term, the six months; then, if your colleague shall have arrived in the
interim, you will give over the ship, having fulfilled your term of service;
and, if he does not come, you will suffer no great harm in serving two months
beyond your term.
Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by A. T. Murray, Ph.D., LL.D. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1939.
