[42]
They have a
dispute with you; see whether it is about a trifle. They say that the land they
live in is not yours, but their own, and that while your possessions there are
held by grace in a foreign country, theirs are their own property on their own
soil, and that this is admitted in a decree of your countryman, Callippus of the
Paeanian deme.
