[125]
On my
tendering this challenge to Stephanus, men of the jury, he refused to accept it.
Does it not, then, appear to you, men of the jury, that a verdict has been given
by Stephanus here himself that Neaera is guilty under the indictment which I
preferred against her, and that I have told you the truth and produced testimony
which is true, whereas whatever Stephanus may say to you will be wholly false,
and he will himself prove that he has no sound argument to advance, inasmuch as
he has refused to deliver up for the torture the women-servants whom I demanded
of him?
