Who it is that has conspired with this fellow against me and who has concocted
this suit, will become clear to you as my speech goes on. Since, however,
Apaturius has made a false charge against me, and is suing me contrary to law,

between him and me, and there exists no other contract made with him by me
whether for business by sea or on land, I have entered the special plea that the
action is not maintainable, according to the following laws.“
