In the first place Demochares, who married my mother's sister,
a daughter of Gylon, has not concealed his property, but acts as choregus and as
trierarch, and performs other public services, without any fear of such
consequences. In the second place, my father voluntarily revealed the rest of
his property, and in particular the four talents and three thousand drachmae,
which these men by their accusations against one another admit to have been
mentioned in the will, and to have been received by them.
