And you may be sure, men of Athens, that we should not even now have brought this action
against Phormio, if we believed that the money which we lent him had been lost
on the ship that was wrecked; we are not so shameless nor so unaccustomed to
losses. But as many have kept taunting us, and especially those who were in
Bosporus with Phormio, who knew
that he had not lost the money together with the ship, we thought it a dreadful
thing not to seek redress after being wronged as we had been by this man.
