Isaeus On the Estate of Dicaeogenes 22

[22] That is why we insisted on his providing sureties, because we had no confidence that he would carry out his agreement. Indeed except two small buildings outside the walls and sixty plethra ¹ of land in the Plain ² we have recovered nothing: the rest is in the possession of those to whom he sold or mortgaged it. We are making no attempt to eject them, because we are afraid of losing suits against them; for when we tried to eject Micion from the bath-house at the suggestion of Dicaeogenes (III.), who said that he would not confirm his title, ³ we were fined forty minae, all through Dicaeogenes, gentlemen.
