When I had now brought my indictment of him for false
citation to the preliminary examination and was about to bring the case into
court, Nicostratus lay in wait for me near the stone quarries, as I was coming
back late from Peiraeus, and struck me with his fist and seizing me around the
waist was on the point of throwing me into the quarries, had not some people
come up and, hearing my cries, run to my assistance. A few days later, I came
into court on a day that was divided up among a number of cases, and proving
that he had falsely attested the citation and was guilty of all the other crimes
which I have mentioned, I won a conviction.
