said nothing of the claims which he now makes. He referred the matter for
arbitration to the father of his own wife, and the husband of his wife's sister,

additional items, and thus to have him as a friend rather than as an enemy
because of this. So the plaintiff received in all five thousand drachmae, and
going to the temple of Athena,2 gave Phormio for
the second time a release from all demands.
