Not content with offering violence to his mother, as
you have just heard from witnesses, he actually sold his own
sister—not indeed a sister by the same father, but his mother's
daughter, whatever her parentage （for I pass that

indictment of the action which was brought against him on these grounds by his
good brother here, who in the present action will help to defend him.
