This plot of ground belonged to Peisander; but when his property was confiscated, Apollodorus of Megara had it as a gift from the people¹ and cultivated it for some time, until, shortly before the Thirty,² Anticles bought it from him and let it out. I bought it from Anticles when peace had been made.³
