Euctemon

Then Euctemon stood up, and in the course of his speech told you the whole story:

It was the month of Scirophorion when those men lost the action they brought against Euctemon.

Thereupon Euctemon laid an information that Archebius and Lysitheides, who had served as naval captains, held property captured in a ship of Naucratis to the value of nine talents and thirty minas.

Euctemon, Glaucippus, Eurymachus, Polyeuctus, Plato, Antidorus, Charippus, Theodorus, Alcisthenes, Menestratus, Eryximachus, Euphiletus, Eurydamas, Pherecles, Meletus, Timanthes, Archidamus, Telenicus.

Against Euctemon he could prove nothing, though he had said that he would get the taxes out of him or pay them himself;

He said that Euctemon was retaining your taxes, and he undertook to prove the charge or pay the sum out of his own pocket.

Gentlemen of the jury, Euctemon finding himself wronged by Androtion, thinks it his duty to obtain satisfaction for himself and at the same time to up hold the constitution;

But now, I believe, his champions are Polyeuctus and Timocrates and the ragamuffin Euctemon.

for that blackmailer never moved for a trial, nor had Meidias hired him for any other purpose than to have this notice posted up before the Tribal Heroes for all men to read, Euctemon of the Lusian deme has indicted Demosthenes of the Paeanian deme for desertion of his post.

With all these matters Euctemon was thoroughly acquainted, for it was through him as pentecontarch that all purchases and disbursements were made.

Further, I sent Euctemon, the pentecontarch, to Lampsacus, giving him money and letters to friends of my father, and bade him hire for me the best sailors he could.

But when Euctemon came back from Lampsacus, bringing the sailors whom he had hired, and the general gave the word for us to put to sea, it happened that Euctemon suddenly fell sick, and was in a very serious condition.

When Pythodorus appeared before the archon, Euctemon stated that he wished to annul the will.

Euctemon lived for ninety-six years, and for most of this period had the reputation of being a fortunate man;

This Alce, after her purchase, lived the life of a prostitute for many years but gave it up when she became too old.

For Strombichides, Onomacles, and Euctemon, having with them thirty ships, and taking in transports a part of the thousand heavy-armed that had come to Miletus, sailed, according to their lot, against Chios, while the rest, remaining at Samos with seventy-four ships, secured the command of the sea, and advanced upon Miletus.

The same winter, more ships, to the number of thirty-five, having come from home to join the Athenians at Samos, with Charminus, Strombichides, and Euctemon in command, after collecting those from Chios and all the rest, they determined, having drawn lots for their respective services, to blockade Miletus with their naval force, and to send against Chios both a fleet and army.

In the next year—in which was celebrated the ninety-third Olympiad, when the newly added two-horse race was won by Euagoras of Elis and the stadium by Eubotas of Cyrene, Euarchippus being now ephor at Sparta and Euctemon archon at Athens —the Athenians fortified Thoricus;
