Now take the
complaint in the action which I commenced against him last year, for this is the
strongest possible proof that up to that time Phormio had never stated that he
had paid the money to Lampis.“
Complaint
”This action I commenced, men of
Athens, basing my complaint upon
nothing else than the report of Lampis, who denied that Phormio had put the
goods on board the ship or that he himself had received the money. Do not
imagine that I am so senseless, so absolutely crazy, as to have drawn up a
complaint like this, if Lampis (whose words would prove my contention
false) admitted that he had received the money.
