We on our part, as soon as we learned what had taken place, were
greatly dismayed at his action, and went to this man, who was the prime mover in
the whole plot, complaining angrily, as was natural, that although we had
expressedly stipulated in the agreement that the ship should sail to no other
port than to Athens, and had lent
our money on this condition, he had left us open to suspicion with people who
might wish to accuse and say that we also had been partners to the conveyance of
the grain to Rhodes; and complaining
also that he and his partner, despite their agreement to do so, had not brought
the ship back to your port.
