[70]
To
prove that I speak the truth in this, that they rooted up the olive trees from
the farms which Hagnias left, I will produce for you as witnesses the neighbors
and others whom we summoned, when we made a solemn protest against this
action.Read the deposition.“DepositionThe deponents testify that on being summoned by Sositheus they accompanied
him to Araphen,1
to the lands of Hagnias, after Theopompus had had the estate of Hagnias
adjudged to him, and that Sositheus showed them the olive trees being rooted
up from the land of Hagnias.”
