I wish, however, to bring before you depositions proving all the other statements I have made, but first of all, to prove that at the outset the defendant and I, having settled our differences by ourselves, took each an equal share of all the property left by Comon of which we had knowledge.Take, please, this deposition first, and then read all the rest.
The Deposition
Now, please take the challenge which I tendered him regarding the money which he got from the slave who was put to the torture.
The Challenge
Read now the other deposition, too, proving that, when our opponents had received the adjudication, they took from us all that we had except the money which Olympiodorus got from the man who was put to the torture.
