I wish to
tell you also the means by which he misled the former jury, and convicted
Evergus, that you may realize that in this trial also there will be no limit to
his impudence and that he will shrink from no falsehoods. More than this; in
regard to his present suit against me, you will find my means of defence1 are the same as those of Evergus, which is the most
convincing proof that Evergus has been the victim of a malicious and baseless
charge. For in addition to all the other accusations the plaintiff charged that
Evergus came to his home in the country, and made his way into the apartments of
his daughters, who were heiresses, and of his mother; and he brought with him
into court the laws concerning heiresses.
1 Possibly, “the charges against me.”
