5. An Athenian, a relative of Apollodorus, who brought a suit against Phormion, on whose behalf Demosthenes wrote the speech ὑπὲρ Φορμίωνος. Nicias, Deinias, and Andromenes had induced Apollodorus to desist from a previous suit of the same kind. Nicias and Apollodorus married sisters, the daughters of Deinias. Nicias was uncle to a man named Stephanus, by whom he was stripped of his property. (Dem. ad v. Steph. p. 1122, ed. Reiske.)
