I, for my part, am wondering, men of the jury, what in
the world the plaintiff, Apollodorus, will try to say in reply to these
arguments. For he can hardly have made this assumption that you, although seeing
that he has suffered no wrong financially, will be indignant because Phormio has
married his mother. For he is not unaware of this—it is no secret to
him or to many of you—that Socrates, the well-known banker, having
been set free by his masters just as the plaintiff's father had been, gave his
wife in marriage to Satyrus who had been his slave.
