Against Diogeiton

Some time later, when Diodotus was enrolled for infantry service, he summoned his wife, who was his niece, and her father, who was also his father-in-law and his brother, and grandfather and uncle of the little ones, as he felt that owing to these connections there was nobody more bound to act justly by his children: he then gave him a will and five talents of silver in deposit;

and he also produced an account of his loans on bottomry, amounting to seven talents and forty minae---and two thousand drachmae invested in the Chersonese.[*](In Thrace. This sentence is evidently defective.) He charged him, in case anything should happen to himself, to dower his wife and his daughter with a talent each, and to give his wife the contents of the room; he also bequeathed to his wife twenty minae and thirty staters of Cyzicus.[*](See Lys. 12.11, note.)
