If he declares that the factory was
idle, yet he has himself rendered an account of money expended, not on
provisions for the men, but for their work—ivory for the trade,
swordhandles, and other supplies—indicating that the workmen were
busy. Furthermore, he charges me with money which he has paid to Therippides for
the hire of three slaves of his who were in my factory. Yet if no work was being
done, Therippides should have received no pay, nor should these expenditures
have been charged to me.
