I replied
that, when a man had put his trust in me, I was all the less inclined to leave
him in the lurch, because, while he was an exile and in misfortune, he was being
wronged by the plaintiff; and after I had done everything possible, and had
incurred the utmost enmity on the part of this fellow, I with difficulty secured
the money, the ship being sold for forty minae, the precise amount for which she
was mortgaged. The thirty minae then having been paid back to the bank, and the
ten minae to Parmeno, in the presence of many witnesses, we cancelled the bond
in accordance with which the money had been lent, and mutually released and
discharged one another from our engagements so that the plaintiff had nothing
more to do with me, nor I with him. In proof that my words are true, hear the
depositions.“
