36. If they had been tried in the court, they could readily have been
saved. For you all knew in what evil the state was, although you were not
able to bring aid. But the fact was, they brought them into the Boule
before the Thirty. And you know what a farce the trial was. 37. The
Thirty sat on the seats where the Prytanes are now. Two tables were
placed in front of the Thirty. It was necessary to deposit the vote, not
in the urns, but in plain sight on the tables, the condemning vote on the
further one .... so how could any one of them be saved? 38. And with one
vote all that came into the council chamber to be tried before the Thirty
were sentenced to death, and no one except this man Agoratus did they
acquit; and they acquitted him as a doer of good. But that you may know
how many were put to death by this man, I desire to read their names to
you.
