[168]
Androtion's behavior towards you was so unfair and so greedy that, whilst
approving the conduct of his own father, who had been confined in jail for a
debt to the State and made his escape without payment or trial, he thought it
quite proper that any other citizen, who was unable to pay out of his own
resources, should be dragged by him from his home to the jail and there
imprisoned.
