κατὰ Μειδίου περὶ τοῦ Κονδύλου Demosthenes
49 There are in Greece men so mild and humane in disposition that though they have often been wronged by you, and though they have inherited a natural hostility towards you, yet they permit no insult to be offered even to the men whom they have bought for a price and keep as their slaves. Nay, they have publicly established this law forbidding such insult, and they have already punished many of the transgressors with death.
50 If the barbarians heard these words and understood their import, do you not think that they would unanimously appoint you their protectors?πρόξενος, here loosely used, is technically a man chosen by a foreign state as its representative in his own native city (nearly a consul in the modern sense). As regards this law then, which is so well esteemed among the Greeks and would be well esteemed among the barbarians also, consider what penalty he who transgresses it will have to pay before he has paid his deserts.
