harmed me by laying a plot against me and against my property, having

was bringing to be paid to the state for the mining property which I bought
for ninety minae,1 and having also caused me to
be inscribed as debtor to the treasury for double that amount.”
1 Presumably the amount due to the state for the purchase of the mine, though the sum differs from the amount secured by the mortgage.
