Plea of Demo Against Zenothemis Perseus (Demosthenes, Vol. IV: Private Orations, Vol 1. Murray, A. T., translator. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1936 (printing).) — 1 focus

[1] Men of the jury, having entered a plea that the action is not admissible, I wish first to speak concerning the laws in accordance with which the plea was entered. The laws, men of the jury, ordain that actions for shipowners and merchants shall be upon loans for shipments to or from Athens , concerning which there shall be written agreements; and if anyone brings suit in violation of this provision, the action shall not be maintainable.
