[34] But if he declares that the child cannot either claim a share from me at law or sue me for breach of contract,¹ let him name the law which prohibits this, and, if he can indicate it, let the child in these circumstances, too, receive the share of the estate. If, again, he contends that there is no need to have the half-share adjudicated or to go to law with me at all, but that this share already belongs to the child, let him make an application to the archon for its inclusion in the lease of the orphan's estate and let the lessee exact from me this portion as belonging to the child.

[34] εἰ δὲ μήτε πρὸς ἐμὲ μήτε κατʼ ἐμοῦ δίκην εἶναί φησι τῷ παιδί, τὸν κωλύοντα νόμον εἰπάτω, κἂν ἔχῃ δεῖξαι, λαβέτω καὶ οὕτω τὸ μέρος τῶν χρημάτων. εἰ δʼ αὖ αὖ μήτʼ ἐπιδικάσασθαί φησι δεῖν τοῦ ἡμικληρίου μήτʼ ἐμοὶ¹ δικάσασθαι, ἀλλʼ ἤδη εἶναι ταῦτα τοῦ παιδός, ἀπογραψάσθω πρὸς τὸν ἄρχοντα εἰς τὴν μίσθωσιν τῶν ἐκείνου χρημάτων, ἣν ὁ μισθωσάμενος εἰσπράξει με ταῦτα ὡς ὄντα τοῦ παιδός.
