[37]
Regarding the sofa-makers, if you took money, and made large
profits for yourself by making loans on security that was mine—you,
who should rather have prevented others from doing so—and finally made
away with the slaves altogether, what, pray, can the witnesses do in your
behalf? These men at any rate have not testified that you admitted lending money
on the security of my slaves, and that you appropriated the slaves to yourself.
On the contrary, it was you who acknowledged this in your account, and the
witnesses testified to the fact against you.
