That, despite
my frequent challenges and demands for the delivery of the woman for
examination, no one has ever delivered her up, has been shown to you by
witnesses. But in order that you may know from circumstantial proofs also that
they have given false testimony, I will prove it. For if what they state were
true, namely, that Theophemus tendered the challenge and offered to give up the
woman in person, these men, I take it, would not have produced two witnesses
only, a brother and a brother-in-law, to testify to what was true, but many
others as well.
