[57]
But which one of these qualities has any
bearing on my dispute with you, Pantaenetus? You have suffered many grievous
wrongs? Well, you have had satisfaction. Not from me? No; for you were not
wronged in any way by me. Otherwise you would never have given me the release,
nor, when you were making up your mind to bring suit against Evergus, would you
have passed me by; nor would you have demanded that one who had done you many
grievous wrongs should undertake to be vendor of the property. Besides, how
could I have wronged you, when I was not present or even in the country?
