the income of the property originally divided, of which he himself had charge,
more than thirty minae. If you add all these sums together,—what he

talents, to say nothing of the present Phormio made him, and his inheritance
from his mother, and what he has had from the bank and does not pay
back—two and one-half talents and six hundred drachmae.
