the deposition itself, and read it, please, that from its very language I may

water.“DepositionStephanus, son of Menecles, of Acharnae, Endius, son of
Epigenes, of Lamptrae, Scythes, son of Harmateus, of Cydathenaeum1 depose that they were
present before the arbitrator Teisias, of Acharnae, when Phormio challenged
Apollodorus, if he declared that the document which Phormio put into the box
was not a copy of the will of Pasio, to open the will of Pasio, which
Amphias, brother-in-law of Cephisophon, submitted to the arbitrator; and
that Apollodorus refused to open it; and that the document in question was a
copy of the will of Pasio.”
