[80]
For what of all these things does he deny having done? That, perhaps, which he must
deny or else be silent,—the having taken the money? Why should he not deny
it? But the Roman knight who defended Sopater, who was present at all his
deliberations and at every transaction, Quintus Minucius, says on his oath that the
money was paid; he says on his oath that Timarchides said that a greater sum was
being offered by the accusers. All the Sicilians will say the same; all the citizens
of Halicya will say the same; even the young son of Sopater will say the same, who
by that most cruel man has been deprived of his innocent father and of his father's
property.
