“all these proposals
being false and unconstitutional, inasmuch as the laws forbid, first, the
entry of false statements in the public records; secondly, the crowning of
one liable to audit （now Demosthenes is Commissioner of
Fortifications and a trustee of the Theatrical Fund）; thirdly, the
proclamation of the crown in the Theatre at the Dionysia the day of the new
tragedies; but if the crowning is by the Council, it shall be proclaimed in
the Council-house, if by the State, in the Assembly on the Pnyx. Fine
demanded: fifty talents. Witnesses to summons: Cephisophon, son of
Cephisophon, of Rhamnus, Cleon, son of Cleon, of
Cothocidae.]”
