[21]
But these men are so different from the
others, that, although they have suffered no damage, as I shall presently make
clear to you, while many others have suffered damage in many grievous ways, they
alone have had the effrontery to sue me. Yet anyone else would have had better
reason to do this than they have; for even if they have suffered damage, it has
been through their own fault, though they bring a malicious suit against me;
whereas the others, not to speak of anything else, are open to no such
imputation.But that I may not speak
confusedly of all matters at once, take, please, the depositions of the
neighbors.“
