When he was under indictment for treason along with Iphicrates, 1 Iphicrates rebuked him because, while he was in jeopardy, he went to the gymnasium, [p. 107] and spent the usual time at his luncheon. His answer was, ‘You may go unwashed and unfed, and I may have had my luncheon and a bath and rub-down, but you may rest assured that, if the Athenians reach any adverse decision regarding us, they will put us both to death.’
1 With Callistratus, rather than Iphicrates, in the year 366 B.C. Cf. Demosthenes, Against Meidias, 65.
