Ἁγνίας τις εἶχεν ἀνεψιοὺς πολλούς, Θεόπομπον καὶ τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ Στρατοκλέα καὶ Στρατίον¹ καὶ Εὐβουλίδην. οὗτος μέλλων τελευτᾶν ἐποιήσατο θετὴν ἑαυτῷ² θυγατέρα, κελεύσας ἐν ταῖς διαθήκαις, εἴ τι πάθοι ἡ θυγάτηρ, ἔρχεσθαι τὸν κλῆρον εἰς Γλαύκωνα, ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τυγχάνοντα ὁμομήτριον. ἐπὶ τούτοις αὐτοῦ τελευτήσαντος ἡ θυγάτηρ λαβοῦσα τὸν κλῆρον ἐτελεύτησεν. ἀποθανόντος δὲ καὶ Εὐβουλίδου ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτοῦ, τοῦ Εὐβουλίδου, δικασαμένη πρὸς Γλαύκωνα ἔλαβε τὴν οὐσίαν. μετὰ ταῦτα τελευτησάντων καὶ τῶν περὶ τὸν Στρατοκλέα καὶ Στρατίον Θεόπομπος μόνος ἐδικάσατο πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ ἔλαβε τὸν κλῆρον. πρὸς τοῦτον ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, Στρατοκλέους, δικάζεται [πρὸς αὐτὸν] διʼ³ ἐπιτρόπου τινὸς [υἱός], φάσκων ἐξ ἴσου τὰ τῆς κληρονομίας ἁρμόζειν τῷ τε Θεοπόμπῳ καὶ τῷ παιδὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ. ἡ στάσις πραγματική.

[0] Argument

A certain Hagnias had several cousins, namely, Theopompus, his brother Stratocles, Stratius, and Eubulides. When he was at the point of death he adopted a daughter, stipulating in his will that, if anything should happen to her, the estate should pass to Glaucon, who was his half-brother, his mother's son. After making these arrangements he died; and the daughter received the inheritance and then herself died. Eubulides having also died, his daughter brought an action against Glaucon and was awarded the estate. After this, Stratocles and Stratius having died, Theopompus, acting alone, brought a suit against her and was awarded the estate. It is against him that the son of his brother Stratocles brings an action through a guardian, alleged that the inheritance belongs in equal shares to Theopompus and to his brother's son. The discussion turns on a point of fact.
