[147]
For it is on the very people whom you regard as most
unprincipled that you rely for a right opinion of a man's character and they
describe this or that man as virtuous or wicked, not when the description is
honest and true, but when it brings money into their own pockets. And that is
what the orators have constantly done in respect of Charidemus, as you will
agree when I have given you an account of his past career.
