普鲁塔克:希腊罗马名人传·摘录 22

普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》· Plutarch's Lives · 领导 · 财富

There was no public treasure at that time in Athens; but the council of Areopagus, as Aristotle says, distributed to every one that served, eight drachmas, which was a great help to the manning of the fleet; but Clidemus ascribes this also to the art of Themistocles. When the Athenians were on their way down to the haven of Piraeus, the shield with the head of Medusa was missing; and he, under the pretext of searching for it, ransacked all places, and found among their goods considerable sums of money concealed, which he applied to the public use; and with this the soldiers and seamen were well provided for their voyage.

白话

当时雅典国库没有公款,但据亚里士多德说,战神山议事会发给每个服役者八德拉克马,这对招募舰队帮助很大;克利德摩斯则把这事也归功于地米斯托克利的运作。雅典人下到比雷埃夫斯港时,刻有美杜莎头像的盾牌不见了,他借口寻找,把各处翻了个遍,搜出不少私藏的钱财充公,士兵和水手因此得到充足给养。

上下文

普鲁塔克《希腊罗马名人传》记地米斯托克利扩建雅典海军,涉及战神山议事会拨款与非常手段筹款。

今日一问

当公共目标缺钱时,用“找东西”之类的借口搜查私人财物充公,边界应该划在哪里?
