[58]
To prove the truth of this statement, please call the man who buried the
defendant's father without payment, and also the arbitrator in the action which
the witness here in court brought against him for the sale of his sister, and
produce the indictment. But first of all please summon the protector of Zobia,
who gave him shelter, and the sale-commissioners before whom he carried her. You
yourselves just now expressed your indignation at his accusing the man who had
contributed towards his defence. Athenians, he is an unclean beast; his touch is
pollution. Read the depositions.“
