On the Trierarchic Crown
The warship whose readiness, equipment, manning, and command determine eligibility for the disputed crown.
When you had passed a decree and confirmed it, to the effect that whoever did not bring his ship around to the pier before the last day of the month should be placed under arrest and handed over to the court, I brought my ship up to the pier, and for this I received a crown from you, while the others had not even launched their ships;
But the fact is, the people appointed that the treasurer should give the crown to the one who first got his trireme ready for sea;
for mine was manned before they had so much as touched theirs, and you all saw the ship being tested.
On the Estate of Hagnias

On the Estate of Philoctemon
Athenian war-galleys commanded or crewed by Chaerestratus, Philoctemon, and Phanostratus in different naval episodes recounted in the speech.
When Chaerestratus set sail for Sicily in command of a trireme, although, having sailed thither myself before, I knew well all the dangers which I should encounter, yet, at the request of these friends of mine, I sailed with him and shared his misfortune, and we were both made prisoners of war.
It was after this, then, that Philoctemon died by the enemy's hands while commanding a trireme off Chios.
Phanostratus has already been trierarch seven times, and he has performed all the public services and has generally been victorious.
