speech : section

What court, then, would they hesitate to invade with their lies, what oaths would they feel the slightest compunction in breaking? The impious scoundrels! They knew that you are the most conscientious and the fairest judges in this nation; yet they come before you intent on deceiving even you, if they can, in spite of the solemn oaths which they have sworn.¹

1 The repetitions in these closing paragraphs, and the absence of the usual ἐπίλογος make it probable that the end of the speech, as we have it, is mutilated.
