This, however, I know well, that, if the plaintiff speaks
the truth, and has been outrageously treated, as he says, by Evergus, he has had
satisfaction to the amount at which he himself assessed his damages; for he came
into your court and won his suit against him; and surely he has no right to
obtain damages for the same wrongs both from the one who committed them and from
me, who was not even in Athens. But, if it is Evergus who speaks the truth, he
has been made the object, it appears, of a baseless and malicious charge; but
even so there is no ground for my being sued on the same charge.To prove, in the first place, that I am speaking the
truth in this, I shall bring before you the witnesses to establish these
facts.“
