So when Philip agreed to get the
release of the rest, I called together these men, to whom I had lent the money
as a friendly loan, reminded them of the transaction, and made them a free gift
of their ransom-money, lest they should seem to have been put into a worse
position by their impetuosity, or to have been ransomed, though poor men, at
their own expense, while the rest were expecting deliverance from Philip. To
prove the truth of my statement, read these depositions also.“
