To prove the
truth of this, please call my witnesses, so that you may know that, before
obtaining legal redress for my former injuries, I have again been insulted in
the way that you have heard.“Deposition[We,
Callisthenes of Sphettus, Diognetus of Thoricus, Mnesitheus of Alopece, know
that Demosthenes, for whom we appear, has brought an action for ejectment
against Meidias, who is now also being publicly prosecuted by him, and that
eight years have now passed since that action, and that Meidias has been the
cause of all the delay by repeated excuses and
procrastinations.]”
