I have stated my case; I have championed the dead man and the law. It is upon you that the rest depends; it is for you to weigh the matter and give a just decision. The gods of the world below are themselves, I think, mindful of those who have been wronged.i.e., a curse will fall upon the living, unless justice is done to the dead. Cf. Gen. Introd. pp. 38-39.
