It was plain
enough, men of the jury, that they would do this—take the oath of
disclaimer with eagerness. Well, then, that they may at once be convicted of
perjury, take, please, this deposition and challenge. Read.“Deposition and
ChallengeThe deponents testify
that they were present when Apollodorus challenged Stephanus to give up his
attendant slave to be put to the torture concerning the theft of the
document, and Apollodorus was ready to write out the conditions on which the
torture was to be administered; and that when Apollodorus tendered this
challenge, Stephanus refused to give up the slave, but replied to
Apollodorus that he might bring suit, if he chose, if he maintained that he
was being in any way wronged by him.”
