[2] ἐπιδείξω δʼ ὑμῖν τουτονὶ Στέφανον καὶ μεμαρτυρηκότα τὰ ψευδῆ, καὶ διʼ αἰσχροκερδίαν τοῦτο πεποιηκότα, καὶ κατήγορον αὐτὸν αὑτοῦ γιγνόμενον· τοσαύτη περιφάνεια τοῦ πράγματός ἐστιν. ἐξ ἀρχῆς δʼ ὡς ἂν οἷός τʼ ὦ διὰ βραχυτάτων εἰπεῖν πειράσομαι τὰ πεπραγμένα μοι πρὸς Φορμίωνα, ἐξ ὧν ἀκούσαντες τήν τʼ ἐκείνου πονηρίαν καὶ τούτους, ὅτι τὰ ψευδῆ μεμαρτυρήκασιν, γνώσεσθε.

[2] I shall prove to you that this man Stephanus has both given false testimony, and has done this from a base desire for gain, and that he is convicted out of his own lips; so transparent is the case from every point of view. And I shall endeavor to relate to you in the fewest possible words all that has taken place between Phormio and myself from the first; and after hearing this you will be convinced both of the villainy of Phormio and that these men have borne false testimony.
