[17]
You hear the
award, men of the jury, which was rendered by Deinias, whose daughter the
plaintiff has married, and Nicias, who is husband to her sister. However, even
though he has received this money, and has given a release from all claims, he
has the audacity to bring suit for so many talents, just as if all these people
were dead, or as if the truth would not be brought to light.
