[18]
When the suit was about to come into court, they begged us to refer it to an
arbitrator; and we referred it by agreement to Theodotus, a privileged
alien1 Lampis after that, thinking that it would now,
before an arbitrator, be safe for him to testify just as he pleased, divided my
money with this fellow Phormio, and then gave testimony the very opposite of
what he had stated before.
1 The word is used of one who, though an alien, paid only the taxes paid by citizens without the addition of the special tax on aliens.
