Well then, when these men despatched their ship from
Athens, they left the price of
grain here pretty high, and for this reason they submitted to have the clause

arrived, and the prices of grain here were falling, and their ship had reached
Egypt, the defendant straightway
sent a man to Rhodes to inform his
partner Parmeniscus of the state of things here, well knowing that his ship
would be forced to touch at Rhodes.
