Take now, please, the statute
of limitations.“
Law
”The law, men of Athens, has thus clearly
defined the time. But this man Apollodorus, when more than twenty years have
gone by, demands that you pay more heed to his malicious charges than to the
laws in accordance with which you have sworn to give judgement. You should have
regard to all the laws, but to this one, men of Athens, above all others.
