[22]
For all that Apaturius and the arbitrator
did in connection with the disappearance of the articles and the pronouncing of
the award, the man wronged, if ever he comes safely back to Athens, will obtain satisfaction from them.
But since Apaturius has come to such a pitch of shamelessness as to bring suit
against me also, charging that I undertook to pay any sum that might be awarded
against Parmeno, and since he declares that my name was entered in the articles
as surety, I shall free myself from such a charge in the proper way; I shall
first bring forward witnesses to prove that it was not I who became surety for
Parmeno, but Archippus of Myrrhinus; and I shall then undertake, men of the
jury, to make my defence by circumstantial proofs.
