Here is a clear proof of this. A host of depositions was read at the trial,
some of the deponents declaring that they had given to the plaintiff property of
mine, others that he had received such property in their presence, still others
that they had purchased goods from him, and paid him the price; yet he has
charged not a single one of these with bearing false testimony. He has dared to
attack this one piece of testimony, and it alone, although in it he cannot show
that there was mention even of one single drachma.
