But, as it was, instead of securing many witnesses to these acts you did
everything you could that none should know, as though you were committing some
crime! Again, had you been making payment to me, your creditor, in person, there
would have been no need of witnesses, for you would have taken back the
agreement and so got rid of the obligation; whereas in making payment, not to
me, but to another on my behalf, and not at Athens but in Bosporus, when your agreement was deposited at Athens and with me, and when the man to
whom you paid the money was mortal and about to undertake a voyage over such a
stretch of sea, you called no one as a witness, whether slave or freeman.

Yes, he says, for the agreement bade me
pay the cash to the shipowner.This is best
explained by assuming that the contract gave Phormio the right to pay the
money to Lampis in Bosporus, if he
did not ship a return cargo to Athens. But it did not prevent you from summoning
witnesses, or from delivering the letters! The parties here presentThe reference is not wholly clear. It may be that
others than Chrysippus and his partner had contributed to the sum lent to
Phormio. drew up two agreements with you in the matter of the loan,
showing that they greatly distrusted you, but you assert that without a single
witness you paid the gold to the shipowner, although you well know that an
agreement against yourself was deposited at Athens with my colleague here!
403 BC (search for this): speech 40, section 32
Ah, but it may be said that he is a man who loves peace and
hates litigation. I could indeed wish, men of the jury, that he were a man of
that type. But here is the truth: you are so generous and so kind toward your
fellow-men that you did not deem it right to banish from the city even the sons
of the Thirty TyrantsIn 403 B.C.; but Boeotus, plotting against me with Menecles,
who is the prime mover in all these schemes, having managed to get up a quarrel
that from disputes and revilings should come to blows, cut his own head, and
summoned me before the Areopagus on a charge of murderous assault, with the
intention of driving me into exile from the city.

He says that the agreement bids him pay
back the money, “when the ship reaches port in safety.” Yes,
and it bids you also to put on board the ship the goods purchased, or else to
pay a fine of five thousand drachmae. You ignore this clause in the agreement,
but after having from the first violated its provisions by failing to put the
goods on board, you raise a dispute about a single phrase in it, though you have
by your own act rendered it null and void. For when you state that you did not
put the goods on board in Bosporus, but
paid the cash to the shipowner, why do you still go on talking about the ship?
For you have had no share in the risk, since you put nothing on board.
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 34, section 34
At first, men of Athens, he seized upon this excuse,
pretending that he had shipped the goods; but when he saw that the falsity of
this claim was likely to be exposed in many ways,—by the entry filed
with the harbor-masters in Bosporus,
and by the testimony of those who were staying in the port at the same
time—then he changes his tack, enters into a conspiracy with Lampis,
and declares that he has paid him the money in ca

Now, men of
the jury, if it were toward myself only that Lampis were showing contempt, it
would be nothing to cause surprise; but in reality he has acted far more
outrageously than Phormio toward you all. For when Paerisades had published a
decree in Bosporus that whoever wished
to transport grain to Athens for the
Athenian market might export it free of duty, Lampis, who was at the time in
Bosporus, obtained permission to
export grain and the exemption from duty in the name of the state; and having
loaded a large vessel with grain, carried it to AcanthusA town in Chalcidicê. and there disposed of
it,—he, who had made himself the partner of Phormio here with our
