[37] ARISTOTIMUS. Now, gentlemen, it lies on your part that are judges, to pronounce sentence.
SOCLARUS. Assuredly then, for our parts, we shall give the same judgment in this, as Sophocles did in another case:
Discourse upon discording arguments
Is then determined best, when what was said
Is duly weighed and stated on both sides.
For thus comparing what you have both discoursed one against another, it will be found that you have acquitted yourselves on both sides like true champions against those that would deprive brute animals of sense and understanding.
