[73]
I
desire, men of the jury, to speak to you in a few words about myself, and to
prove to you that I have, in a very different way from theirs, shown my concern
that the house of Hagnias should not become extinct. For I, too, am myself of
the family of Buselus. For Callistratus married the granddaughter of Habron, the
son of Buselus, being himself the son of Eubulides and grandson of Buselus; and
from the granddaughter of Habron and Callistratus, the nephew of Habron, our
mother was born.
