“AnotherThe deponents
testify that their father Strato was a relative of Polemon, the father of
Hagnias, and of Charidemus, the father of Theopompus, and of Philagrus, the
father of Eubulides, and that they heard from their father that Philagrus
took for his first wife Phylomachê, the sister of Polemon, the
father of Hagnias, born of the same father and the same mother, and that
Philagrus had by Phylomachê a son Eubulides, and that after the
death of Phylomachê Philagrus took a second wife
Telesippê, and there was born a brother to Eubulides, namely
Menestheus, of the same father but not of the same mother; and that when
Eubulides made claim to the estate of Hagnias on the score of kinship,
Menestheus did not dispute his title to the estate of Hagnias, nor did
Euctemon, the brother of Philagrus, nor did anyone else on the score of
kinship dispute the title of Eubulides on that occasion.”
