Polyeuctus was a man of Teithras,1 not
unknown, it may well be, to some of you. This Polyeuctus, since he had no male
children, adopted Leocrates, the brother of his own wife; but since he had two
daughters by the sister of Leocrates, he gave the elder to me in marriage with a
portion of forty minae, and the younger to Leocrates.2
