48 When, therefore, they try to deceive you, and say that it is added in the law that the bestowal of the crown is permitted if the people vote, do not forget to suggest to them, Yes, if it is another state that is crowning you; but if it is the Athenian people, a place is designated for you where the ceremony must be performed; it is forbidden you to be crowned outside the assembly. For you may spend the whole day in explaining the meaning of the words and nowhere else; you will never show that his motion is lawful.

49 But that part of my accusation remains upon which I lay greatest stress: the pretext upon which he claims that the crown is deserved. It reads thus in his motion : And the herald shall proclaim in the theater in the presence of the Hellenes that the Athenian people crown him for his merit and uprightness, and that monstrous assertion, because he continually speaks and does what is best for the people.

50 You see how entirely simple the remainder of our argument becomes, and how easy for you, my hearers, to weigh. For it is obviously incumbent upon me, the complainant, to show this to you, that the praise given to Demosthenes is false, and that he never began to speak what was best, nor now continues to do what is good for the people. If I show this, then Ctesiphon will doubtless lose his case, and justly; for all the laws forbid inserting falsehoods in the decrees of the people. But the defence must show the opposite of this. And you are to be the judges of our pleas.
