81 The Senate of the Areopagus appeared before the people in accordance with the resolution that Timarchus had introduced in the matter of the dwelling-houses on the Pnyx. The member of the Areopagus who spoke was Autolycus, a man whose life has been good and pious, by Zeus and Apollo, and worthy of that body.
82 Now when in the course of his speech he declared that the Areopagus disapproved the proposition of Timarchus, and said, You must not be surprised, fellow citizens, if Timarchus is better acquainted than the Senate of the Areopagus with this lonely spot and the region of the Pnyx, then you applauded and said Autolycus was right, for Timarchus was indeed acquainted with it.Evidently the region was a disreputable one, and the houses known as cheap places of ill repute.
