Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 1 (search)
There is after
all, men of Athens, nothing more
vexatious than to have a neighbor who is base and covetous; the very thing which
has fallen to my lot. For Callicles, having set his heart on my land, has
pestered me with malicious and baseless litigation: in the first place he
suborned his cousin to claim my property,
Demosthenes, Against Conon, section 1 (search)
Demosthenes, On the Trierarchic Crown, section 8 (search)
You ought, men of Athens, to seek a just course, not only in
the light of these considerations, but also in the light of your own previous
actions in the case of others who have acted as these men have done. For, when
you were worsted in the sea-fight against Alexander,Alexander of Pherae had defeated the Athenian fleet at
Peparethus in 361 B.C. you thought that the
trierarchs who had let out their trierarchies were chiefly responsible for what
had happened, and you gave them over for imprisonment, having decided by show of
hands that they had betrayed their ships and deserted their post.
Demosthenes, Against Nicostratus, section 23 (search)
I
answered, however, in the presence of witnesses, that I was ready to go with
them to the senate, and in conjunction with the senate or the ElevenThe board of police commissioners at Athens. to receive the slaves
for the torture, telling them that, if my suit against them had been a private
one, I should have accepted the slaves for the torture, if they had offered
them, but that, as it was, both the slaves and the information belonged to the
stateSince Arethusius was a
state-debtor.; and therefore the examination by the torture should be
conducted by a public official.
Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 12 (search)
To prove that I
am speaking the truth in this, I shall bring before you as witnesses those who
know the facts, and circumstantial evidence, men of Athens, far stronger than any testimony.
Callicles says that I am doing him an injury by having walled off the
watercourse; but I shall show that this is private land and no watercourse.
Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 9 (search)
That the land is our
private property is admitted by these men themselves, and this being the case,
men of Athens, if you could see the
place, you would know at once that their suit is groundless. For this reason I
wanted to refer the case to impartial persons who know the locality, but these
men refused, although they now try to maintain that they wished it. This, too,
will beu could see the
place, you would know at once that their suit is groundless. For this reason I
wanted to refer the case to impartial persons who know the locality, but these
men refused, although they now try to maintain that they wished it. This, too,
will be made clear to you all in a moment; but give close heed, men of
Athens, I beg you in the name of
Zeus and the gods!
Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 8 (search)
Well, I think that what I have said is by
itself a sufficient answer to their shameless claims; but that you may be
assured, men of Athens, on other
grounds as well that my father committed no wrong in walling in the land, and
that these men have uttered nothing but falsehoods, I shall try to explain to
you even more clearly.
Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 7 (search)
for if you had at that time
brought a witness and appealed to his testimony, he would now have proved from
his own knowledge precisely how the several matters stood, and would have
refuted these men who are so glib with their testimony. But, I fancy, you have
all come to despise one so young as I am, and so inexperienced in affairs. But,
men of Athens, I adduce their own
acts as the strongest evidence against them all; for how is it that not one of
them ever protested, or lodged a complaint, or even uttered a word of censure,
but they were content to submit to this injury?
Demosthenes, Against Callicles, section 3 (search)
A single
plea, men of Athens, I bring before
you to answer all the arguments of these men, a just one. My father built the
wall around this land almost before I was born, while Callippides, the father of
these men was still living, and was my father's neighbor （and of course
he knew the facts better than these men do）, and when, moreover,
Callicles was already a grown man, and plea, men of Athens, I bring before

Demosthenes, On the Trierarchic Crown, section 14 (search)
so that, if one looks at the matter
frankly, he will find that triremes such as these have sailed forth, not for
you, but against you. For a man who serves as trierarch in the interest of
Athens ought not to expect to
grow rich at the public expense, but ought by means of his own resources to
repair the losses of the state, if you are to have the service which you need.
But each commander goes out determined to pursue the opposite course, and the
losses resulting from their own evil ways are repaired by the damages which fall
on you.
