Men of
Athens, it is a very simple
thing for you to reach a decision in this suit, and there is no need of many
words. That the ship has reached port safe, and is safe, is admitted by these
men themselves; for otherwise they would not be offering to pay the principal of
the loan and a portion of the interest. She has not, however, been brought back
to the Peiraeus. It is for this reason that we, the creditors, claim that we
have been wronged, and regarding this we are bringing suit, that, namely she did
not make the return voyage to the port agreed upon.
