Chapter # Sentence # Quote
4 20 The culprit was a small, vile man with a twisted body.
4 21 He was an itinerant peddler, Speusippus of Turia.
4 22 I had found him unutterably detestable.
4 23 A Corcyran merchant had brought charges against him.
4 24 He had received a bowl from Speusippus which was purportedly silver, a bowl seemingly stamped with the appropriate seal of Ar.
4 25 The bowl upon inspection, the merchant becoming suspicious as to the weights involved, had turned out to be merely plated.
4 26 Further, since the smithies of Ar, those authorized to use the various stamps of Ar, will not plate objects without using relevant variations on the seal of Ar to indicate this, the object was not only being misrepresented but was, in effect, a forged artifact.
