[233]
On these matters you need no further
witness; but to prove that Phryno did send his son to Philip, please call the
witnesses. Now Aeschines never prosecuted Phryno
for sending his own son to Philip with a dishonorable intention. But if a
man1 in the bloom of his
youth was more comely than others, and if, disregarding the suspicion that his
personal charm might provoke, he has lived rather recklessly in later years,
Aeschines must needs proceed against that man for immorality.
