Against Stephanus I
Civic benefactions including public service, the gift of shields, and voluntary trierarchy.
for I am well aware that for you who are citizens by birth it is sufficient to perform public services as the laws require;
My father gave you a thousand shields and made himself serviceable to you in many ways, and five times served as trierarch, voluntarily equipping the ships and manning them at his own expense.
For Phormio
Civic liturgies and services such as trierarchy and choregy.
Now read all the services which Phormio has rendered to the state.
He has expended upon public services merely what you have heard, the smallest fraction of his income, not to say of his capital;
Ah, but, you will tell us, the state has received these sums, and you have been outrageously treated, having used up your fortune in public services!
