[26]
When I saw, men of the jury, that after
the woman's divorce had been registered with the archon, and after the
defendant's declaration that he had taken a mortgage on the farm to secure her
marriage-portion, Aphobus continued to hold and till the land just as before,
and to dwell with his wife, I knew well that all this was fiction and a pretence
to cover up the facts.
