  • ὡσ δὲ εἰσήχθη εἰσ τὸ δικαστήριον, λαβέ μοι τὴν μαρτυρίαν τῶν ἀποστολέων καὶ τῆσ ἀρχῆσ. (Demosthenes, Speeches 41-50, 36:1)
  • καὶ ταῦτα ὅτι ἀληθῆ λέγω πρὸσ ὑμᾶσ, τούτων ὑμῖν ἀναγνώσεται τὰσ μαρτυρίασ τῶν τε τὰ στρατιωτικὰ τότε εἰσπραττόντων καὶ τῶν ἀποστολέων, καὶ τοὺσ μισθοὺσ οὓσ ταῖσ ὑπηρεσίαισ καὶ τοῖσ ἐπιβάταισ κατὰ μῆνα ἐδίδουν, παρὰ τῶν στρατηγῶν σιτηρέσιον μόνον λαμβάνων, πλὴν δυοῖν μηνοῖν μόνον μισθὸν ἐν πέντε μησὶν καὶ ἐνιαυτῷ, καὶ τοὺσ ναύτασ τοὺσ μισθωθέντασ, καὶ ὅσον ἕκαστοσ ἔλαβεν ἀργύριον, ἵν’ ἐκ τούτων εἰδῆτε τὴν ἐμὴν προθυμίαν, καὶ οὗτοσ δι’ ὅ τι παραλαβεῖν παρ’ ἐμοῦ τὴν ναῦν οὐκ ἤθελεν, ἐπειδή μοι ὁ χρόνοσ ἐξῆλθεν τῆσ τριηραρχίασ.
