[26]
Concerning these matters, then, what I have
said is sufficient, but in regard to the creditors, who, they say, consented to
accept from them the interest as far as Rhodes, this has nothing to do with us. If any man has remitted
to you any part of what was due him, no wrong is suffered by either party to the
arrangement. But we have not remitted anything to you, nor have we consented to
your voyage to Rhodes, nor in our
judgement is anything more binding than the agreement.
