When we had
our meeting—what need is there to tell you all the
details?—the men came who claimed to have made loans to the plaintiff
on the security of the mining property and the slaves, which we bought from
Mnesicles; and there was nothing straightforward or honest about them. Then,
when they were convicted of falsehood in all their statements and Mnesicles
confirmed our having bought the property, they offered us a challenge, assuming
that we should not accept it, either to take all our money from them and
withdraw, or to settle with them by paying their claims; for the security which
we held was, they claimed, worth far more than the sums we had lent.
