[284]
The unfortunate Timarchus is still disfranchised because he was a
witness of Aeschines' misdeeds, and why should you allow Aeschines to go
scot-free? If he demanded such severity of retribution from men who had
transgressed only against himself and his friends, what retribution are you, a
legal jury bound by oath, to exact from men who have grievously transgressed
against the commonwealth, and of whom he is proved to be one?
