of Callaeschrus, Nicomachus, son of Diophantus, bear witness for
Demosthenes, and have taken oath before the Generals that to their knowledge
Aeschines, son of Atrometus, of Cothocidae, comes by night to the house of
Thraso and holds communication with Anaxinus, who has been proved to be a
spy from Philip. These depositions were lodged with Nicias on the third day
of Hecatombaeon.]”
