[60]
Most of what Apollodorus will say you must regard as mere
talk and baseless calumny. Bid him demonstrate to you, either that his father
did not make this will, or that there is another lease than the one which we
produce; or that he himself after going over the reckoning did not give Phormio
a release from all the claims regarding which his father-in-law made the award
with the plaintiff's own concurrence; or that the laws permit one to bring
action regarding matters thus decided. Or bid him try to show anything of that
sort.
