(Apollodorus explains his quarrel: Stephanos had charged him with proposing an illegal change in the law) ἐγὼ μὲν γὰρ βουλευτής ποτε καταστὰς ἔγραψα ψήφισμά τι ὃ ἐξήνεγκα εἰς τὸ δῆμον.
When I was acting as a member of the Council I proposed a decree which I brought before the people.
ὁ δὲ Στέφανος οὑτοσί, γραψάμενος παρανόμων τὸ ἐμὸν ψήφισμα, τῆς ἔχθρας ὑπῆρξεν.
But this Stephanos indicted my decree as illegal, and thus began our enmity.
ἑλὼν γὰρ τὸ ψήφισμα, ψευδεῖς μάρτυρας παρασχόμενος, ᾔτησε τίμημα μέγα, ὃ οὐχ οἷος τ’ ἦ ἐκεῖσαι.
For, having secured a conviction against the decree, and having brought false witnesses, he asked for a large fine which I could not pay.
