[58]
If it were not that he uses his present
language after having at the outset been judged to be in the wrong by his own
friends and by the arbitrator, there would be less reason to wonder at all this.
But the fact is, that after persuading me to refer the matter to Archeneus and
Dracontides and Phanus （the last of whom he is now suing on a charge of
giving false witness）, he rejected them （having heard them say
that, if they decided on oath, they would condemn his conduct as
guardian）, and appeared before the official arbitrator, who, since
Aphobus was unable to clear himself from the charges which I brought, gave
judgement against him.
