In accordance
with this agreement, men of the jury, I lent the money to Artemo, this man's
brother, at the request of Lacritus, and upon his engaging that I should receive
everything that was my due in accordance with the agreement under which the loan
was made. Lacritus himself drew up the agreement and joined in sealing it after
it was written; for his brothers were still youngish, in fact mere boys, but he
was Lacritus, of Phaselis, a personage of note, a pupil of Isocrates.1
