Against Olympiodorus
The speaker's paternal half-brother, absent abroad at first, who returned and claimed half of Comon's estate.
Moreover, at this very time some other people filed claims to the estate of Comon, and Callippus, my brother on my father’s side, returned from abroad;
And we decided, men of the jury, that the defendant Olympiodorus should lay claim to the whole estate, and that,I should claim a half, seeing that my brother Callippus claimed a half only.
and for the defendant Olympiodorus to enter suit for the whole estate as he had done before, and conduct his case by himself, and for me to enter suit for a half, since my brother Callippus claimed the half only;
Against Phaenippus

Apollodorus Against Callippus
The plaintiff, an Athenian citizen and proxenos of the Heracleotes, who claims Lycon's money and is accused of falsehood and procedural manipulation.
Immediately after this mischance this man Callippus came to the bank, and asked whether they knew Lycon, the Heracleote.

Apollodorus Against Polycles
Son of Philon of Aexonê, associated with the attempt to fetch Callistratus.
As for the trireme of Thrasylochus of Anagyrus, on board which he was himself sailing, he induced Thrasylochus to let his trierarchy to Callippus, that Callippus, being in full control of the ship, might carry Callistratus about, as he pleased.
When it was manned, Callippus, the son of Philon, of Aexonê, came on board, and ordered the pilot to steer the course for Macedonia.
He spoke roughly to me and threatened me in a way you can easily understand (for you are not without experience of the ways of Callippus), and I said to him, I hear that you are sailing to fetch Callistratus.

On Halonnesus

And there they speak truth, for he did propose such a decree, and when I indicted him for a breach of the constitution, you acquitted him;
