Hence this is the beginning of the complaint:
“Demosthenes makes the following charges against Aphobus. Aphobus has
in his possession moneys of mine, received by him in his capacity as guardian,
as follows: eighty minae, which he received as the marriage-portion of my mother
in accordance with the terms of my father's will.” This is the first
of the sums of which I claim to have been defrauded. Now what was the
declaration of the witnesses? “That they were present before the
arbitrator, Notharchus, when Aphobus admitted that Milyas was a freeman, having been
emancipated by the father of Demosthenes.”
