Then the Lacedaemonians sent to the fleet, as counsellors to Cnemus, Timocrates, Brasidas, and Lycophron;

The defendant in the speech, an Athenian citizen prosecuted by Ariston on an impeachment (eisangelia) alleging misconduct toward a bride at Charippus's wedding; he speaks in his own defence, recounting his career as Phylarch and Cavalry Leader at Lemnos.
So if you will give the word, gentlemen of the jury, I will call an advocate.
For you appointed me, gentlemen of the jury, first as Phylarch and later as Cavalry Leader at Lemnos.
Let me now repeat to you the answer which I gave to the relatives and also to my own relations directly I arrived, namely this.
