For it is just <in that case> for the perpetrator to receive a still greater punishment. For example, Sophocles, when pleading on behalf of Euctemon, after the latter had killed himself because of the outrageous treatment he had suffered, said that he would not adjudicate the penalty at less than the victim had inflicted on himself.
