Against Evergus and Mnesibulus
Formal public decrees read as legal evidence for the speaker's authority and Theophemus's liability.
The Decrees
Read the decree, please.
) Read the decree, please.
Apollodorus Against Polycles
Official civic enactments read or invoked to prove public orders and the speaker's service.
In return for all this I now implore you, that, as I showed myself obedient and useful in your service, so you will now take thought of me, and, remembering all that I have told you, the depositions which I have produced and the decrees, you will succor me when I am being wronged, will mete out punishment in your own interest, and will exact repayment of the funds expended in the defendant’s behalf.
And all of you who stayed at home, listen to me in silence, while I set forth before you all the facts, and produce in support of every statement that I make the laws and decrees both of the senate and the people, and the testimony of witnesses.
To prove that I am speaking the truth in this, the clerk shall read you the deposition dealing with these facts, and the decree of the people.
