Quantum porro honoris Athenis Xenocrati, sapientia pariter ac sanctitate claro, tributum est! cum testimonium dicere coactus ad aram accessisset, ut more eius civitatis iuraret omnia se vere rettulisse, universi iudices consurrexerunt proclamaruntque ne ius iurandum diceret, quodque sibimet ipsis postmodum dicendae sententiae loco remissuri non erant, sinceritati eius concedendum existimarunt.
Further, how great an honour was paid in Athens to Xenocrates, famous alike for wisdom and blameless character! Obliged to bear witness, he approached an altar according to the custom of that community to swear that he had given all his evidence truthfully. But the entire jury rose to their feet proclaiming that he should not take the oath. What they would not later allow themselves when giving their verdict, they thought proper to concede to his integrity.
