suborned men to bear false witness about these matters, having as co-workers his
brother-in-law Onetor, and Timocrates1; we had no forewarning of

accounts. Nevertheless, despite the fellow's trickery, I think that, simply by
reciting the facts, I shall easily convince you that no man was ever more justly
convicted than he.
