Passage 1.25.7
Κάσσανδρος δὲ---δεινὸν γάρ τι ὑπῆν οἱ μῖσος ἐς τοὺς Ἀθηναίους---, ὁ δὲ αὖθις Λαχάρην προεστηκότα ἐς ἐκεῖνο τοῦ δήμου, τοῦτον τὸν ἄνδρα οἰκειωσάμενος τυραννίδα ἔπεισε βουλεῦσαι, τυράννων ὧν ἴσμεν τά τε ἐς ἀνθρώπους μάλιστα ἀνήμερον καὶ ἐς τὸ θεῖον ἀφειδέστατον. Δημητρίῳ δὲ τῷ Ἀντιγόνου διαφορὰ μὲν ἦν ἐς τὸν δῆμον ἤδη τῶν Ἀθηναίων, καθεῖλε δὲ ὅμως καὶ τὴν Λαχάρους τυραννίδα· ἁλισκομένου δὲ τοῦ τείχους ἐκδιδράσκει Λαχάρης ἐς Βοιωτούς, ἅτε δὲ ἀσπίδας ἐξ ἀκροπόλεως καθελὼν χρυσᾶς καὶ αὐτὸ τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς τὸ ἄγαλμα τὸν περιαιρετὸν ἀποδύσας κόσμον ὑπωπτεύετο εὐπορεῖν μεγάλως χρημάτων.
Cassander—for he harbored a fierce hatred toward the Athenians—on seeing Lachares again taking a prominent position in leadership among the people, befriended this man and persuaded him to assume tyranny, a tyranny that, among those known to us, proved exceptionally brutal toward men and most irreverent toward the divine. Demetrius, the son of Antigonus, also had quarrels with the democracy of Athens by this time; nevertheless, he was responsible for overthrowing the tyranny of Lachares. As the city walls were being captured, Lachares escaped and fled to the Boeotians. Since he had removed golden shields from the Acropolis and stripped the very image of Athena of its detachable adornments, he was suspected of possessing a great abundance of wealth.
