Against Aristocrates
Officials who handle legally arrested murderers and lawful punishment.
It is to the archons, then, that the murderer is to be taken on arrest;
only the laws and the appointed officers have power over the man for punishment.
The Archons, according to their several jurisdictions, shall bring cases into court;
Against Aristogeiton II
Athenian judicial officials involved in legal procedures and promotion to the Areopagus.
and on the other hand, all the judicial archons who are disqualified for promotion to the Areopagus forbear to force their way in and submit humbly to your decision.
Now apart from all this, whenever a man lodges with the judicial Archons an objection against a decree or law, that law or decree is invalid and the mover or proposer has not the impudence to employ violence, but loyally accepts your decision, even if he is the foremost orator or administrator in your city.
