And he will accuse also those who took part in the revolution, in the hope that in this
 way especially he will arouse you to wrath; for perhaps he has heard it said that whenever
 you fail to apprehend the guilty, you punish any who cross your path. But I for my part do
 not think that you are so disposed, and I believe that it is easy to controvert the pleas
 just suggested. As for his lamentations, it is fitting that you give aid, not to those who try to show
 that they are the most miserable of men, but to those whose statements concerning the

 upon which you must cast your votes. And demand that he, instead of showing that he has
 suffered cruel wrongs, prove that it is I who have committed them, I, from whom he seeks
 to recover what he has lost;
