[42]
For that the case is the exact
opposite of what my opponent asserts,—that it is not he, but I, who am
the victim of a cabal, and that, after certain persons had declared that they
would aid me in my suit, I have been betrayed because of the cliques formed by
these men,—all this will be made clear to you in the following way.
Let the crier here call Demosthenes. He will not come forward. The reason is,
not that I have been induced by certain persons to lodge criminal information
against this man, but that he and the one just now mentioned have come to terms
with one another. To prove that this is true, I will compel to testify both
Cleinomachus, who brought them together, and Eubulides, who was with them in
Cynosarges1;
Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by Norman W. DeWitt, Ph.D., and Norman J. DeWitt, Ph.D. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1949.
