On The Estate Of Pyrrhus

1. Besa is situated in the extreme south of Attica near Laurium . It appears that the estate of Pyrrhus included a factory at Besa and that Xenocles proceeded thither after the death of Pyrrhus in order to take possession of it: knowing that he would be forcibly prevented from doing so, he took with him witnesses of his eviction.
