[60]
There are many people indeed, men of the
jury, whom Eubulides and his clique have destroyed or have saved for money. For
even at an earlier time （and my words shall bear upon the matter in
hand, men of Athens）
Antiphilus, the father of Eubulides, when he was prefect of the deme, as I have
told you, made use of trickery in his desire to get money from certain persons,
and asserted that he had lost the public register; and he thereby induced the
Halimusians to revise their list of members, denounced ten of their number, and
had them expelled; all of whom with one exception the court of justice restored.
These facts all the older ones know.
