[103]
Do not, O judges, I entreat you in the name of yourselves, of
your fortunes, and of your children, give joy to my enemies, especially to
those whom I have made my enemies by labouring for your safety, by allowing
them to boast that you have by this time forgotten me, and that you have
shown yourselves enemies to the safety of the man by whom my safety was
ensured. Do not crush my spirit not only with grief, but also with fear that
your kind regard for myself is altered; allow me to pay the man from you,
that which I repeatedly promised him because I relied on you.
