[8]
Of the four talents and three thousand drachmae, you
received the two talents and eighty minae, so that you did not include even
these in the return you made on my behalf to the public treasury; for at that
time they were your property. But the house and the fourteen slaves and the
thirty minae which you gave over into my hands, could not have been assessed at
any such sum as that which you agreed to pay to the tax-group.
