I therefore ask of you that, keeping these facts in mind, you cast your votes against
 Pasion and not judge me guilty of a villainy so great, that I, who live in Pontus and
 possess so large an estate that I am able even to assist others, have come here
 maliciously to prosecute Pasion and to accuse him of dishonesty in the matter of a deposit
 made with his bank. It is right also that you keep in mind both Satyrus and my father, who have always
 esteemed you above all the other Greeks and frequently in past times, when there was a
 scarcity of grain and they were sending away empty the ships of other merchants, granted
 to you the right of export; Cf. Dem.
 20.31 . also, in the private contracts in which they are arbiters, you
 come off not only on even terms but even at an advantage. You would not reasonably, therefore, consider their letters of little importance. I ask
 of you, then, both on their behalf and on my own, that you vote in accordance with justice
 and not count the false assertions of Pasion to be more worthy of belief than my own
 words.
