[26]
At the same time （for, men of
Athens, the whole truth shall be
told you）, we on our part, who had made the loan, came to a quarrel and
felt bitter against him （for the loss on the grain was falling on
us）, and charged that he had secured for us this pettifogging scoundrel
instead of our money. After this, being manifestly none too honest by nature, he
went over to their side, and agreed to let judgement go by default in the suit
which Zenothemis had brought against him before they had come to an agreement
with one another.
