[83]
Hear now what
he has done, men of Athens, in the
matter of the legal action and observe his insolent and overbearing conduct on
each occasion. In that action—I mean the one in which I obtained a
verdict against him—the arbitrator assigned to me was Strato of Phalerum, a man of small means and
no experience, but in other respects quite a good fellow; but his appointment
proved the unhappy man's ruin—a ruin undeserved, unjust, and in every
way scandalous.
