[57]
Reflect upon this also, all you who belong
to the large demes, that you are not wont to deprive any man of his right of
accusation and defence. And I invoke many blessings upon the heads of all of you
who have dealt fairly with this matter, because you did not deprive of the
opportunity to prepare their case those who asked for a delay. By taking this
course you exposed the pettifoggers and those who were maliciously scheming
against others.
