In the
case of Aphobus, I held that his controversy with me should be settled among our
friends, and not come to trial before you, but I could not persuade him. But
this man, when I bade him act as judge in his own case, that he might not risk a
trial before you, treated me with such contempt, that not only did he not think
fit to give me a hearing, but I was even in the most outrageous manner driven
off the land, which belonged to Aphobus, when he lost his suit to me.
