37 You can judge this from my habits of life, from which, indeed, you can get at the truth much better than from the lips of my accusers; for no one is, I think, blind to the fact that all people are wont to spend their time in the places where they elect to gain their livelihood.

38 And you will observe that those who live upon your contracts and the litigation connected with them are all but domiciled in the courts of law, while no one has ever seen me either at the council-board,The συνέδριον, a board made up of the six junior archons called Thesmothetae, had jurisdiction over a large number of offenses against the state. or at the preliminaries,The ἀνάκρισις was any preliminary hearing before an appropriate magistrate. or in the courts,The regular Heliastic jury-panels. See Isoc. 7.54, note. or before the arbitratorsCf. Isoc. 15.27, note.; on the contrary, I have kept aloof from all these more than any of my fellow-citizens.

39 Moreover, you will find that these men are able to carry on a profitable business in Athens alone; if they were to sail to any other place they would starve to death; while my resources, which this fellow has exaggerated, have all come to me from abroad.There is a story that Isocrates charged no fees to Athenian pupils.
