"already said. I preferred to forgo satisfaction for these wrongs rather than to be thought a fool by my fellow-citizens, in the knowledge that, while these events would be thought consistent with the villainy of this man, my sufferings would excite mockery from many of those who habitually resent it if anyone in the city tries to be a useful citizen. [10] I was so unsure how to cope with this man’s contempt for legality, Council, that I decided it would be best to go away from Athens. So taking the boy along (I have to tell the whole truth) I left the city. When I thought that enough time had elapsed for Simon to forget the youth and regret his former misconduct, I came back. [11] I went off to Peiraieus. But Simon noticed at once that Theodotos was back and was at the house of Lysimachos, who lived near the house which Simon had leased, and he summoned some of his friends. They passed their time dining and drinking; they had set watchers on the roof so that when the boy emerged they could drag him in. [12] At this juncture I came back from Peiraieus, and while passing I called in at Lysimachos’ house. After a short interval we came out. Drunk by now, our opponents jumped on us. Some of Simon’s companions refused to join in his misbehaviour; but Simon here, Theophilos, Protarchos and Autokles began dragging the boy off. He however threw off his robe and took to flight. [13] As for me, thinking Theodotos would escape and that my opponents would turn back in shame as soon as they encountered people – with these thoughts I went off in another direction; I was so keen to avoid them, and I thought that all I had experienced at their hands a great misfortune. [14] And at this point, where Simon says the fight took place, none of them or us had his head cut open or suffered any other injury, as I shall prove by presenting those who were there as witnesses. Witnesses [15] The testimony of those who were there has shown, Council, that Simon was the offender and that he plotted against us, not I against him. After this the boy took refuge in a laundry, and they rushed in together and began to drag him off by force, while he yelled and called for witnesses to his protests. [16] A large number of people ran up and expressed disapproval of the affair, saying that these acts were appalling; but they ignored the comments and when Molon the fuller and some others tried to protect the boy they beat."
