[47]
Now suppose the defendant
Aristocrates were asked,—you must not think it a silly
question—first if he knows whether Charidemus will be killed by
someone, or will die in some other way. He would reply, I take it, that he does
not know. However, we will presume that somebody will kill him. Next question:
will the man who is to do it be a voluntary or an involuntary agent, an alien or
a citizen,—do you know, Aristocrates? You cannot say that you do know.
