During my absence three
household slaves of Nicostratus ran away from him from his farm, two of those
whom I had given him, and one of a number whom he had purchased for himself. He
pursued them, but was taken captive by a trireme and brought to Aegina, where he was sold. When I had come
home with the ship of which I was in command, Deinon, this man's brother, came
to me and told me of his misfortunes, stating that, although Nicostratus had
sent him letters, he had not gone in quest of him for want of funds for the
journey, and he told me also that he heard that his brother was in a dreadful
condition.
