[79]
I beg of you, men of the jury, if any one of those
who then served as jurors happens to be in the court-room, to act upon the same
principles as you did then; and, if the deposition seemed to you to be worthy of
credence, and I seemed to shrink from the test which the examination of the
woman would have afforded, now, when they are proved to have given false
testimony and do not deliver up the woman, to come to my aid: and if you are
angry with me because I went to the house of Theophemus to take security, to be
angry now with these men also because they went to my house.
