I beg of you,
therefore, men of the jury, when you have heard us both and have sifted the
matter for yourselves, preferably to find some settlement of our quarrel and
dismiss us, and thus become benefactors of us both; but if you cannot succeed in
this, of the courses remaining open to you, I beg you to give your vote to him
whose plea is just.First, then, the clerk shall
read to you the depositions which show that it is not I who am responsible for
bringing the case into court, but the defendant himself.Read the depositions.“
