[42]
There are
many points from which one may see your rascality, but most of all if one hears
how you acted regarding the will. For although my father, men of the jury, wrote
a will containing an inventory of all that he left, with instructions for
letting the property, this will Aphobus never gave up to me, lest I should learn
from it the value of the estate, and admitted possessing only those items which
were so well known that he could not deny that he had them.
