          left the will and that they can cite no law in their favor, whereas all support my
          case—first, the law which is valid among you who are to adjudge the case, next, the law of
          Siphnos, the fatherland of the testator, and finally the law of the country of my
          opponents? And yet from what illegal act do you think these persons would abstain,
          inasmuch as they seek to persuade you that you should declare this will valid, although
          the laws read as you have heard and you have taken oath to cast your votes in conformity
          with them? </p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
