Since then I
have had no business transaction with the fellow, whether great or small, but
Parmeno sued him for damages for the blows which he received from him when he
laid hands on the slaves as they were being carried off, and because he had been
prevented by him from making the voyage to Sicily. When the action had been instituted, Parmeno tendered
an oath to Apaturius regarding some of his charges, and he accepted it, and
furthermore made a deposit to be forfeited if he did not swear the
oath.In proof that my words are true, take
the deposition.“
