Thus then I proceed. To enter into a minute examination of the life of Demos- thenes I fear might lead me into a detail too tedious. And why should I insist on such points as the circumstances of the in- dictment for his wound, brought before the Areopagus against Demomeles his kinsman, and the gashes he inflicted on his own head? or why should I speak of the expedition under Cephisod- otus, and the sailing of our fleet to the Hellespont, when Demosthenes acted as a trierarch, entertained the a...dmiral on board his ship, made him partaker of his table, of his sacrifices and religious rites, confessed his just right to all those instances of aflfection, as an hereditary friend ; and yet, when an impeach- ment had been brought against him which afifected his life, ap- peared as his accuser? Why, again, should I take notice of his affair with Midias ; of the blows which he received in his office of director of the entertainments ; or how, for the sum of thirty minse, he compounded this insult, as well as the sen- tence which the people pronounced against Midias in the theatre?
