I believe that I shall prove
this clearly. And yet, men of the jury, Theocrines and his clique have gone to
all lengths in tampering with the witnesses, and trying to induce them by
threats and by bribes not to give testimony. Nevertheless, if you will give me
the aid which you are bound to give, and will bid them, or rather join with me
in compelling them, either to testify, or to disclaim knowledge under oath, and
will not allow them to talk at random, the truth will be brought to
light.Read, then, first the denunciation and
then the depositions.“
