Soon after we had
divided the shares between us, men of the jury, we became suspicious, and found
out something about this money; and as a result of this suspicion Olympiodorus
here and I decided to put the man to the torture. And the fellow, men of the
jury, before he was put to the torture, voluntarily confessed that he had stolen
a thousand drachmae from Comon, and said that he still had in his quarters all
the money which had not been spent; but of the larger sum he did not say a word
at that time.
