[18]
Not only have I
these witnesses to prove that I have been released and am now the object of a
baseless and malicious charge, but Pantaenetus himself is a witness also. For
when, in bringing suit against Evergus, he left me out of the question, he
himself bore witness that he had no further claim against me. For surely,
assuming that he had the same charge to bring against both for the same
wrongdoing, he would not, when both were at hand, have passed over the one and
brought suit against the other. However, that the laws do not allow a fresh suit
to be brought regarding matters that have been thus settled you know, I presume,
even without my telling you.Nevertheless, read
them this law also.“
