Is it not indeed monstrous that he should claim that
he is being outrageously treated by my refusal of his demand to have delivered
to him for torture a freeman （for such I shall conclusively prove
Milyas to be）, and
should not consider that my witnesses are being outrageously treated, when I
offer him one who is admittedly a slave, to be tested by torture regarding their
testimony, and he refuses? For he surely cannot maintain this, that for some
matters, which he himself desires, torture is a certain test, and for others
not.
