When the
people of Athens passed a decree
granting the right of citizenship to Pasion1 and his descendants on account of services to the
state, my father favored the granting of the people's gift, and himself gave in
marriage to Apollodorus, son of Pasion, his own daughter, my sister, and she is
the mother of the children of Apollodorus. Inasmuch as Apollodorus acted
honorably toward my sister and toward all of us, and considered us in truth his
relatives and entitled to share in all that he had, I took to wife his daughter,
my own niece.
