The visiting Ambassadors are pretending to serve Athens in wars or as representatives in other cities and countries. The Ambassadors are drawing generous salaries for very little work. Indeed they are exempt from military duty and therefore profit from the perpetuation of the war. Therefore they appear to be the most corrupt and vile of human beings.
