Against Aphobus I
Another Athenian ward whose estate, when properly let under the law, grew from about three to over six talents.
In the case of Antidorus, as a result of his property having been let in accordance with these laws, there was given over to him, at the end of six years, an estate of six talents and more from an original amount of three talents and three thousand drachmae;
But in my case, fourteen talents in ten years, when consideration is given to the time and the terms of his lease, ought to have been more than trebled.

On the Estate of Philoctemon
Man alleged by Androcles to be a legitimate son of Euctemon by a citizen wife named Callippe, but characterized by the speaker as the illegitimate son of the freedwoman Alce and the freedman Dion.
Further, mark the effrontery and impudence of the witness himself, who has claimed for himself Euctemon's daughter as being an heiress and a fifth part of Euctemon's estate as being adjudicable, while he has given evidence that Euctemon has a legitimate son.
Meanwhile, with the aid of the woman they conveyed the furniture from within to the adjoining house, which was leased and occupied by one of their gang, the infamous Antidorus.
When Androcles lodged a protestation that the estate was not adjudicable because Euctemon had a legitimate son, namely, Antidorus, Chaerestratus and his supporters impugned the protestation, declaring that both Antidorus and his sister were illegitimate and that the law ordains that an illegitimate son or daughter cannot inherit as next-of-kin.
