Against Meidias
Person invoked in a comparison case of assault to distinguish Meidias' deliberate conduct.
Polyzelus again explained that owing to his ungovernable temper he had lost his head when he committed the offence;
In the same way the man who was struck by Polyzelus was privately squared, laughed in his sleeve at you and your laws, and never even prosecuted his assailant.
for instance, men of Athens, the Chairman for the day who is said to have been struck by Polyzelus in your court, the judge who was lately struck when trying to rescue the flute-girl, and similar cases.
Against Onetor I
The Athenian eponymous archon in whose year the woman's marriage to Aphobus took place, used by Demosthenes as a chronological marker.
She was married in the archonship of Polyzelus, in the month of Scirophorion, and the divorce was registered in the month of Poseidon, in the archonship of Timocrates.
