in cases where a discharge has once been given; and inasmuch as the plaintiff
makes a baseless and malicious claim, and brings suit contrary to the laws; we
have put in a special plea as allowed by the laws that his suit is not
admissible. In order, then, that you may understand the matter regarding which

sequence of those who were present when Apollodorus discharged Phormio from the
lease and from all other claims.Take these
depositions, please, and the law.“
