[34]
To prove that these statements of mine are true, I will
bring before you as witnesses those who were present and saw for
themselves.Please call Chionides of
Xypetê1 and Euthetion of Cydathenaeum.2“DepositionsChionides of Xypetê and Euthetion of Cydathenaeum depose that
they were invited to dinner by Chabrias, when he celebrated with a banquet
his victory in the chariot race, and that the banquet was held at Colias;
and that they know that Phrynion was present at the banquet, having with him
Neaera, the present defendant; that they themselves lay down to sleep, as
did Phrynion and Neaera, and that they observed that men got up in the night
to go in to Neaera, among them some of the serving-men who were household
slaves of Chabrias.”
