Notes on the current edition

Against Aphobus I

1. The plaintiff in a private suit who was so far from being able to prove his case that he did not receive a fifth part of the votes, was subject to a fine of one-sixth of the damages claimed (an obol for each drachma). Failure to pay entailed the loss of civic rights. Compare Dem. 28.18 , end. In the case of Aphobus, the amount for which he would be held liable, if he lost suit, would be fixed by the court.
