For, I entreat you, recall to your recollection, O judges, what
licence that fellow took in determining the law; how great a variation there was in
his decrees, what open buying and selling of justice; how empty the houses of all
those men who were accustomed to be consulted on points of civil law, how full and
crammed was the house of Chelidon. And when men had come from that woman to him, and
had whispered in his ear, at one time he would recall those between whom he had just
decided, and alter his decree; at another time he, without the least scruple, gave a
decision between other parties quite contrary to the last decision which he had
given only a little while before.
