Another thing also, men of the jury, deserves to be
borne in mind, that no one ever makes a copy of a will; they make copies of
contracts, that they may know the terms and not violate them; but not of wills.
For this is the very reason why the testators leave a will—that no man
may know how they are disposing of their property. How, then, do you people know
that what is written in the document is a copy of Pasio's will?I beseech and implore you all, men of the jury, to come to my
aid and to punish those who thus without scruple have given false testimony, for
your own sakes, for mine, for the sake of justice and the laws.
