[31]
For where is one to turn if he fails of a verdict
from you, when men of wealth who have never been of any service to you, who
produce large quantities of grain and wine and dispose of this at three times
its former price, have an advantage in your courts? Let not this happen now, I
beg of you; but, as you have given public aid to all those engaged in mining, so
now give aid to me as a private citizen.
