Translate the following passage into Greek Prose : According to Demosthenes, the poorer members of these trierarchic symmories were sometimes pressed down almost to ruin by the sums demanded; so that they complained bitterly, and were planted themselves in the characteristic attitude of suppliants at Munychia, and elsewhere in the city. When their liabilities to the state were not furnished in time, they became subject to imprisonment by the officers superintending the outfit of the armament. In addition to such private hardship, there arose great public mischief from the money not being at once forthcoming; the armament being delayed in its departure, and forced to leave Peiræus either in bad condition, or without its full numbers. Hence arose, in great part, the ill success of Athens in her maritime enterprises against Philip.-GROTE.
