[37]
From the lessee, for the eight years
during which Phormio had the bank, he received eighty minae a year, half of the
whole rent. These items make ten talents and forty minae.1 For ten years
after that, during which they subsequently leased the bank to Xeno and Euphraeus
and Euphro and Callistratus, he received a talent every year.2
1 The rent of the factory was a talent a year, and that of the bank a talent and forty minae, making a total of one hundred and sixty minae annually, or eighty minae apiece for each of the two brothers, or ten talents and forty minae for the eight-year period.
2 The rents under the new lease remained the same as before, but Apollodorus received only that from the shield-factory, or a talent annually.
