[63]
While I was saying this and solemnly protesting against their actions, they
abused me roundly; then Theophemus went with me very reluctantly and making much
delay, alleging that he too wished to take witnesses along with him
（this talk was a trick on his part to gain time）; but this
fellow Evergus went at once from the city in company with some others of like
stamp to the farm. The furniture which I had remaining—some few pieces
which the day before happened to be in the tower and not outside—had,
after I came home, necessarily been brought down, and Evergus, forcing open the
gate which they had broken down the day before, and which was scarcely fastened,
carried off my furniture—Evergus, to whom I owed no judgement, and
with whom I had had no business transaction whatever.
