Against Timocrates
Athenian court assigned to assess penalties under Timocrates’ earlier law.
If the culprit be convicted, the Court of Heliaea shall assess such penalty, pecuniary or otherwise, as he appears to deserve.
To make good this view the clerk will read the judicial oath of the Court of Heliaea.
Indeed in my view he merits the severest punishment, not merely for proposing this law, but for revealing to everyone else a method of destroying the courts of Justice, restoring exiles, and introducing every sort of atrocity.
Against Macartatus
Court before which serious offenders against protected persons or endangered houses may be brought.
And if the offender shall seem to him to be deserving of a more severe punishment, let him summon such a person, giving him five days’ notice, and bring him before the court of Heliaea, writing upon the indictment the penalty which he thinks is deserved.
