This man1 declares that a will was made and testifies that in
it the two talents were given to Demophon, and the eighty minae to Aphobus; but
he declares there was no additional clause regarding the seventy minae which
Therippides received, or regarding the amount of the property bequeathed, or
instructions as to the letting of it; for it was not to his interest to make
these further admissions.Now take the answer of
the defendant.“
