Ἀντωμοσία

εἰ μὲν τοίνυν, ὦ ἄνδρες, περὶ τούτων ἔμελλον ἀπολογήσεσθαι¹ μόνον Λεωχάρης ἢ Δικαιογένης, ἤρκει ἄν μοι τὰ εἰρημένα· ἐπειδὴ δὲ παρεσκευασμένοι εἰσὶν ἐξ ἀρχῆς περὶ 〈τοῦ〉² κλήρου λέγειν, βούλομαι ὑμᾶς καὶ παρʼ ἐμοῦ τὰ πραχθέντα πυθέσθαι, ἵνα εἰδότες τἀληθῆ, ὅ τι ἂν δοκῇ ὑμῖν, ψηφίσησθε, ἀλλὰ μὴ ἐξηπατημένοι.

Μενεξένῳ γὰρ τῷ ἡμετέρῳ πάππῳ ἐγένετο ὑὸς μὲν εἷς, Δικαιογένης, θυγατέρες δὲ τέτταρες, ὧν ἔλαβε μίαν μὲν Πολυάρατος³ ὁ πατὴρ ὁ ἐμός, ἄλλην δὲ Δημοκλῆς ὁ Φρεάρριος, τὴν δὲ Κηφισοφῶν ὁ Παιανιεύς· ἡ δὲ 〈τετάρτη〉⁴ Θεοπόμπῳ ἐγήματο τῷ Κηφισοδότου⁵ πατρί.

Affidavit

If then, gentlemen, these were the only points with which Leochares or Dicaeogenes (III.) were going to deal in their defence, what I have already said would suffice; but since they are prepared to treat of the question of the inheritance from the beginning, I should like you to hear the facts from my side also, that, knowing the truth instead of being misled, you may give an unbiased verdict.

Our grandfather, Menexenus (I.) had an only son, Dicaeogenes (II.), and four daughters, one of whom was married to my father, Polyaratus, another to Democles of Phrearrhi, the third to Cephisophon of Paeania, while the fourth was the wife of Theopompus, the father of Cephisodotus.
