[54]
But is it reasonable to believe that you, who
are Apollodorus, would deem it your duty to seek satisfaction for public wrongs,
which touched you only in part, sooner than for the private wrongs, concerning
which you now bring charges, especially when they were as grave as you now
claim? Why, then, did you accuse those men, and leave Phormio alone? You were
suffering no wrong, but methinks the charges which you are now bringing are
baseless and malicious.
