[10] But that you may be fully convinced of this,
(to the clerk)
please read the law itself.The Law
The two parties to a suit shall be compelled to answer one another’s questions, but they may not testify.
Now consider this law also which ordains that action for false testimony may also be brought on this very ground, namely, that one testifies contrary to law.
The Law
The witness shall also be liable to action for giving false testimony on the mere ground that he gives evidence contrary to law, and the one producing him shall also be liable in the selfsame manner.
