That the
agreements were deposited with Aristocles, and that the arbitration was left
with Phocritus, Aristocles and myself, has been testified to you by witnesses
who know the facts. And now, men of the jury, I beg of you to hear from me what

Apaturius is making a claim upon me which is baseless and malicious. For when he
saw that Phocritus and I were of one mind, and realized that we should give
judgement against him, wishing to break down the arbitration, he sought, in
