My
opponent, however, has come to such a pitch of audacity as to declare that my
father made feast for him on the tenth day.1 And in regard to this he
has put in depositions of Timocrates2 and
Promachus alone, who are in no way related to my father, and were not friends of
his. The testimony they have borne is so patently false, that, whereas you all
know that Boeotus by instituting proceedings forced my father against his will
to acknowledge him these men, like witnesses to a summons—and only two
of them—depose that he made a feast for this fellow on the tenth day!
