[19]
Pray observe that my fear
regarding the things I have set forth to you is not a vain one. He has already,
men of Athens, been defendant in certain suits, in which, although I have been
wholly innocent, odium has attached to my name as well as his; and he has laid
claim to the office to which you had elected me; and many unpleasant things have
happened to me because of the name; regarding each one of which I will produce
witnesses to inform you fully.“
