Take the lease and read
it—the lease which they put in, as they did the will, by means of a
challenge.“Lease of The
BankOn the following terms Pasio
has let the bank to Phormio: Phormio is to pay to the sons of Pasio as
rental for the bank two talents and forty minae each year above the daily
expenditure, and it shall not be lawful for Phormio to carry on a banking
business independently unless he first obtains the consent of the sons of
Pasio. And Pasio owes the bank eleven talents upon the deposits.”
