[27]
And you had no fear of those men, to
whom their agreements gave the right of exacting payment in Bosporus, but declare that you had regard for
the claims of my partner, though you wronged him at the outset by not putting on
board the goods according to your agreement in setting out from Athens? And now that you have come back to
the port where the loan was made, you do not hesitate to defraud the lender,
though you claim to have done more than justice required in Bosporus, where you were not likely to be
punished?
