Against Ctesiphon
Athenian public building where the reward for the Phyle band is visible.
Again, in the Metroön you may see the reward that you gave to the band from Phyle, who brought the people back from exile.
Against Leocrates
The Athenian public building housing the archive of the city's laws, invoked in a hypothetical analogy.
Suppose someone had entered the Metroon and erased one law and then excused himself on the grounds that the city was not endangered by the loss of just this one.
