Μαρτυρία

ὡς μὲν τοίνυν καὶ τότε ὦφλον¹ τὴν δίαιταν, ἀκηκόατε. ἀξιῶ δέ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ὥσπερ οὗτοι μέγα² τοῦτʼ ἂν³ ἔφησαν εἶναι σημεῖον ὡς οὐκ ἔστιν Ἡγησίππου, εἰ οἱ διαιτηταὶ αὐτῶν ἀπεδιῄτησαν, οὕτω τὸ νῦν ἡμῖν τοὐναντίον εἶναι μαρτύριον, ὅτι ἀληθῆ λέγομεν, ἐπεὶ ἔδοξαν αὐτοῖς⁴ ἀδικεῖν τοῦτον Ἀθηναῖον ὄντα καὶ κυρίως πρῶτον ἐγγραφέντα ὕστερον ἐξαλείψαντες. ὅτι μὲν οὖν ἀδελφὸς ἡμῶν ἐστιν οὑτοσὶ Εὐφίλητος καὶ πολίτης ὑμέτερος, καὶ ἀδίκως ὑβρίσθη ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν τῷ δήμῳ συστάντων, ἱκανῶς οἴομαι ὑμᾶς, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ἀκηκοέναι.

Deposition

You have now heard that my opponents lost their case before the arbitrators. I claim, judges, that, just as they would have declared, if the arbitrators had decided in their favor, that this was a strong proof that Euphiletus is not the son of Hegesippus, so now you should regard as equally strong evidence of the truth of our contention the fact that they were considered by the arbitrators to be doing Euphiletus an injury in having subsequently deleted his name, though he was a citizen and had before been legally enrolled. You have, I think, now heard enough, judges, to convince you that Euphiletus here is our brother and your fellow-citizen, and that he has been unjustly insulted by those who have conspired against him in the deme.
