[67]
But I shall be told it is because you
condemned him on information laid and twice put him and his brother into prison;
it is for this reason that he is your well-wisher. But that too is ridiculous.
Or because you disqualified him for the office to which he had been allotted? Or
because you found him guilty of a breach of the constitution? Or because you
fined him ten talents? Or because you habitually point the finger of scorn at
him as the vilest of all men in the world?
