For, besides all the rest, in connection
with my father I borrowed twenty minae from Blepaeus the banker, for the
purchase of some mining properties, and after my father's death I shared the
mines with these men, but had to pay the loan myself. I also borrowed another
thousand drachmae from Lysistratus of Thoricus for my father's funeral, and have
personally paid the debt.That I am speaking the
truth on these matters also you will learn from these depositions.“
