Translation
Not only when someone makes a peace-libation or comes into friendship with one who is in disagreement with him did the orators use the word katallattomenos ["coming to an agreement"], but also, often, for someone changing money in the assembly.1 Demosthenes [writes]: "but he also showed us [his gains] by cheese-selling, house-building, boasting that he would be going [on an embassy] even if you did not elect him [to do so], timber-transporting, changing his gold [openly] at the banks."2
