The Pinnacle of Wickedness

Demosthenes 19.69 (On the Dishonest Embassy; tr. C.A. Vince and J.H. Vince):
Could any men be more wicked or more lost to all sense of shame?

πῶς ἂν ἄνθρωποι κακίους ἢ μᾶλλον ἀπονενοημένοι τούτων γένοιντο;
On ἀπονενοημένοι see Theophrastus, Characters 6 ("The Man Who Has Lost All Sense").
