Against Boeotus I
Aggressive or abusive legal procedures that the plaintiff links to Boeotus and his associates.
Boeotus is the name of his mother’s brother;
However, suppose one should ask this Boeotus the following questions:
cease to make trouble for yourself, and cease bringing malicious and baseless charges against me;
For Phormio
The defense’s characterization of Apollodorus’s litigation as false, vexatious, and abusive.
For, in my judgement, Solon framed it for no other purpose than to prevent your having to be subjected to malicious and baseless actions.
But if, for want of proofs, he goes on uttering charges and calumnies and abuse, do not heed him, nor let his noisy talk and shamelessness lead you astray.
nevertheless, as you see, because Phormio can no longer submit to his demands, Apollodorus has instituted this vexatious and baseless suit for twenty talents.
