Deposition

Here is another proof that they do not admit that the adoption of Endius by Pyrrhus ever took place, namely, that they would never otherwise have thought of demanding the award of the inheritance to this woman, ignoring the long tenancy of the last heir. For Pyrrhus has been dead for more than twenty years, whereas Endius died in the month of Metageitnion¹ last year, in which month they promptly claimed the inheritance only two days after his death.

Μαρτυρία

ἀλλὰ μὴν κἀκεῖνό γε δηλοῖ,¹ ὡς οὐχ ὁμολογοῦσι τὴν τοῦ Ἐνδίου ποίησιν ὑπὸ τοῦ Πύρρου γενέσθαι. οὐ γὰρ ἂν ὑπερβάντες τὸν τελευταῖον τοῦ οἴκου γεγενημένον κληρονόμον ὑπὲρ τῆς γυναικὸς τοῦ Πύρρου κλήρου λαχεῖν τὴν λῆξιν ἠξίωσαν οὗτοι. ὁ μὲν γὰρ Πύρρος πλείω ἢ εἴκοσιν ἔτη τετελεύτηκεν ἤδη, ὁ δὲ Ἔνδιος τοῦ Μεταγειτνιῶνος μηνὸς πέρυσιν, ἐν ᾧ ἔλαχον τοῦ κλήρου τὴν λῆξιν τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ εὐθέως οὗτοι.
