[The Acc. and Dat. of παραγραφή each occur twice within a few lines of one another.] οὐκ ἐτόλμησαν This would have been the ordinary defence in a εὐθυδικία, and was not a true ground for a παραγραφή (§ 4), but it would have been an argument, if they could have pleaded it, in favour of the court granting a bar to the suit. καὶ ταῦτα § 50; 56 §§ 40, 44; cf. inf. § 33 καὶ τοῦτο. ‘And that too when I had expressly written in the charge against him, which you have just heard read, that he had neither put the goods on board nor paid the money.’ If he could have given so direct an answer to so direct a charge, he would have done so; not indeed as in itself sufficient as a bar to the suit (see supra on the Argument), but as an additional reason why it need not be tried. περιμένειν...μάρτυρα Or. 56 § 30 π. τὴν ὡραίαν.] τηλικαύτην tam gravem.
