Against Leptines : ウィキペディア英語版 | Against Leptines
''Against Leptines'' was a speech give by Demosthenes in which he called for the repeal of a law which denied anyone a special exemption from paying public charges (''leitourgiai''). ==History== This law had been proposed by a man named Leptines, so the speech came to be known as ''Against Leptines''. Although Dio Chrysostom (31.128-9) says that Demosthenes won the case, his account has been dismissed as inaccurate. An inscription shows that Ctesippus, son of Chabrias (whose inheritable exemption Demosthenes was arguing to preserve), performed a liturgy that "is unlikely to have been voluntary," and there is no evidence of any grants of exemption after the trial.〔Ernst Badian. "The road to prominence," in Ian Worthington (ed.), ''Demosthenes: Statesman and Orator'' (Routledge, 2000), p. 28.〕
