In this way, when I found that Apaturius
was a rascal, I set matters right in my own interest and in the interest of the
foreigner. But Apaturius, as though the wrong was on my side, and not on his,
made complaint to me, and asked if it were not enough for me to be released from
my guaranty to the bank, without also attaching the ship and the slaves to
secure his money for Parmeno, and thus making an enemy of himself in the
interest of one who was an exile.
