Perhaps, men of the jury, he will present witnesses to you who will testify that I also
 denied, in the presence of the agents of Satyrus, that I possessed any money except that
 which I surrendered to them, and that he himself was laying claim to my money on my own
 confession that I owed him three hundred drachmas, and also that I had allowed Hippoladas,
 my guest and friend, to borrow from him. This is cited to
 indicate that the speaker had no means himself from which to make the loan to his
 friend. As for me, men of the jury, since I was involved in the difficulties which I have related
 to you, deprived of all I had at home and under compulsion to surrender what I had here to
 the envoys from Pontus, and finding myself without any means unless I could secretly
 retain in my possession the money on deposit with Pasion, I did, I admit, acknowledge a
 debt due him of three hundred drachmas and that in other respects I behaved and spoke in a
 manner which I thought would best persuade them that I possessed nothing. And that these things were done by me, not because of lack of funds, but that the parties
 in Pontus might believe that to be the case, you will readily learn. I will present to you
 first those who knew that I had received much money from Pontus; next, those who saw me as
 a patron of Pasion’s bank, and, besides, the persons from whom at that time I bought more
 than a thousand gold staters.
