“Erasicles deposes that he sailed with Hyblesius as pilot of
the ship to Pontus, and when the ship was sailing along the coast to
Theodosia from Panticapaeum he knows that the ship had no cargo; and that
Apollodorus, the very man who is now defendant in this suit,1
had no wine on board the vessel, but that about eighty jars of Coan wine
were being conveyed for a certain man of Theodosia.Hippias, son of Athenippus, of Halicarnassus, deposes that
he sailed with Hyblesius as supercargo of the ship, and that when the ship
was sailing along the coast to Theodosia from Panticapaeum, Apollodorus put
on board the ship one or two hampers of wool, eleven or twelve jars of salt
fish, and goat-skins—two or three bundles—and nothing
else.In addition to these, written
affidavits2
were submitted by Euphiletus, son of Damotimus, of Aphidnae, Hippias, son of
Timoxenus, of Thymaetadae, Sostratus, son of Philip, of Histiaea,
Archenomides, son of Strato, of Thria. and Philtiades, son of Ctesicles, of
Xypetê.3”
1 If this clause is not an interpolation, we must assume that Apollodorus was being sued as co-defendant with Lacritus. But this whole inserted document may well be spurious.
2 See note 17 above.
3 Aphidnae was a deme of the tribe Acantis; Thymaetadae, a deme of the tribe Hippothontis; Thria, a deme of the tribe Oeneïs; and Xypetê, a deme of the tribe Cecropis.
