Now please take the
deposition first that of Apollonides, showing that it was Antipater who lent
money upon the vessel, and that these men were in no wise affected by the
shipwreck; and then that of Erasicles and that of Hippias, showing that only
eighty jars were being transported in the vessel.“DepositionsApollonides of
Halicarnassus deposes that to his knowledge Antipater, a Citian by birth,
lent money to Hyblesius for a voyage to Pontus on the ship of which
Hyblesius was in command, and on the freight to Pontus, and that he was
himself part-owner of the ship with Hyblesius; that slaves of his own were
passengers on the ship; and that, when the ship was wrecked, his servants
were present and reported the fact to him, and also the further fact that
the ship, having no cargo,1
was wrecked while sailing along the coast to Theodosia from
Panticapaeum.”
1 No full cargo, that is; merely the salt fish and the Coan wine mentioned above.
