When, then, the
news of what had been done was brought me in Peiraeus by the neighhors, I went
to the farm, but found that these men had left; I saw, however, that the
household goods had been carried off and in what plight the old woman was. My
wife told me what had taken place, so, early next morning, I approached
Theophemus in the city, having witnesses with me, and demanded, first that he
accept payment of the amount of his judgement, and go with me to the bank, then,
that he should provide for the care of the old woman whom they had beaten,
calling in any physician whom they pleased.
