[44]
For the fellow, men of the jury, said everything else
that he pleased in the court-room, and emphatically stated to the jurymen that I
had rented from him the house which I received as part of my share, and that I
had borrowed of him the money which I received—the half, that is, of
the thousand drachmae recovered from the slave. And he not only made these
statements, but he produced depositions to support them. And I said nothing
whatever against all this, nor did any human being hear a syllable aloud or
muttered from me while he was supporting his claim, but I admitted the truth of
everything he chose to say. For I was cooperating with you, Olympiodorus,
according to our agreement.
