Libanius, Hypotheses to the Orations of Demosthenes 

Craig Gibson, trans., edition of April 30, 2003

page 11 of 58

· § 10 (Dem. 10) ·

Read about the evidence
Libanius (Lib. Arg. Orat. Dem.).

(1) This speech has the same hypothesis as the preceding one,10 and there is nothing more or peculiar to it except the political recommendation concerning unanimity. (2) Since the rich are in conflict with the poor, Demosthenes tries to put a stop to their discord, advising the people not to confiscate the property of the rich, while advising the rich not to begrudge the needy their public income. He also tries to persuade the Athenians to send an embassy to the Persian king about an alliance.
