[33] In a very short time—and this was the object of their advice to Euctemon to annul the will—he sold a farm at Athmonon¹ to Antiphanes for seventy-five minas and the bath-house at Serangion² to Aristolochus for 3000 drachmas; and he realized a mortgage of forty-five minas on a house in Athens from the hierophant.³ Further, he sold some goats with their goat-herd for thirteen minas and two pairs of mules, one for eight minas and the other for five hundred and fifty drachmas, and all the slaves he had that were craftsmen.
