To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The orators received his money, and laboured to gain him the protection of tie state. Demosthenes, on the contrary, urged to his countrymen the danger of ex- posing themselves to an unnecessary and unjustifiable war, by entertaining this fu- gitive. Harpalus, however, found means to soften his severity, by a present of a magnificent vase, accompanied with twenty talents. And, when it was expected that Demosthenes would have exerted his abili- ties, in the assembly, against Harpalus, he pleaded ...indisposition, and was silent. This is the sum of Plutarch's account. But Pau- sanias, who seems to have conceived a more favourable opinion of the integrity of De- mosthenes, observes, as a proof of his in- nocence, that an authentic account was sent to Athens, after the death of Harpalus, of all the sums distributed by him in this city, and of the persons to whom each was paid ; and that, in this account, no mention was at all made of Demosthenes, although Phi- loxenus, who procured it, was his particular enemy, as well as Alexander.
