When we had
exchanged oaths, and the articles had been deposited with Androcleides, I
divided the property into two shares, men of the jury. One share consisted of
the house in which Comon himself had lived, and the slaves engaged in weaving
sackcloth, and the other of another house and the slaves engaged in grinding
colors. Whatever ready money Comon left in the bank of Heracleides had been
nearly all spent on his burial and the other funeral rites, and on the building
of his tomb.
