History of the Peloponnesian War

There was one Peithias, voluntary host of the Athenians and that had been principal magistrate of the people.

Him these men called into judgment and laid to his charge a practice to bring the city into the servitude of the Athenians. He again, being acquit, called in question five of the wealthiest of the same men saying they had cut certain stakes in the ground belonging to the temples both of Jupiter and of Alcinus, upon every of which there lay a penalty of a state.
