That Callippus
is able to achieve his ends contrary to the laws and contrary to justice, you
have heard, men of the jury, from the deposition. I, on my part, beseech you on
my own behalf and on my father's, to bear in mind that, in support of all that I
have said, I have produced before you witnesses and circumstantial evidence and
laws and sworn statements; and in the case of the plaintiff I have shown that,
while, if he had any claim to this money, he might have proceeded against
Cephisiades, who admits that he collected the money and has it in his
possession, and still take these pledges from me, he does not proceed against
him, although he knows that the money is not in our hands—I beseech
you to remember all these facts, and to give a verdict in my favor.
