Now is not their next proceeding
absurd as well as outrageous?—that Leostratus here should have made
his deposit for costs in the inheritance suit before the archon, as being the
son of Archiades （ while he was an Eleusinian, and Archiades of the

affidavit, as you see for yourselves, alleging that he, too, was a son of
Archiades? To which of the two should you pay attention, as telling the truth?
