[79]
But, Phormio, whom of the citizens have I hired for
prostitution, as you have done? Show me. Whom have I deprived of the citizenship
of which I was deemed worthy, and of the right of free speech in the city, as
you did in the case of the man whom you dishonored? Whose wife have I debauched,
as you have the wives of many?—among them her to whom this
god-detested fellow built the monument near that of his mistress at a cost of
more than two talents. And he did not see that a structure, being of that sort,
would be a monument, not of her tomb, but of the wrong which because of him she
had done to her husband.
