[126]
A
righteous and conscientious verdict is now sufficiently indicated; but I have
still, as it seems—not because I have any taste for railing, but
because of his calumnies—to state the bare necessary facts about
Aeschines, in return for a great many lies. I must let you know who this man,
who starts on vituperation so glibly—who ridicules certain words of
mine though he has himself said things that every decent man would shrink from
uttering—really is, and what is his parentage.
