[25]
So, when the archon summoned into court all those who
were filing claims according to law, I entered a sworn statement, asking
postponement on the ground that the defendant Olympiodorus was abroad on
military service, but to this sworn statement our adversaries opposed another,
attacking Olympiodorus; and as they had the last word, they induced the jurors
to decide that the defendant was absent on account of the trial and not on
public service.
