[6]
I instituted
suit, men of the jury, against Demophon, Therippides and the plaintiff for
breach of trust in their guardianship, for I had been defrauded by them of all
my inheritance. When my suit against Aphobus in the first instance came up for
trial, I proved clearly to the jury, as I shall prove to you, that he, in
conjunction with the others, had robbed me of all the property that had been
left me; and I relied upon no false testimony.
