Apollodorus Against Timotheus
Bank participant or witness present when the books were produced before the arbitrator.
Phormio and Euphraeus, who had paid the money to the persons designated by Timotheus, were present, and they exposed his falsehoods by showing the date at which he had contracted each loan, the person who received the money, and the use for which he expended it.
For Phormio
Later lessee of the bank.
For ten years after that, during which they subsequently leased the bank to Xeno and Euphraeus and Euphro and Callistratus, he received a talent every year.
To prove that I speak the truth in this, and that Apollodorus subsequently leased the bank to Xeno and Euphraeus, and Euphro, and Callistratus, and that he delivered no private capital to them either, but that they leased only the deposits and the right to the profits accruing from them, take, please, the deposition which proves these matters, and proves also that he chose the shield-factory.
Third Philippic
An anti-Philip patriot of Oreus, formerly resident in Athens, presented as honest and self-sacrificing.
and the noble Euphraeus slew himself, giving thus a practical proof of the honesty and disinterested patriotism of his opposition to Philip.
Then a number of fellows banded together, with Philip for their paymaster and managing director, and dragged Euphraeus off to prison for setting the city in an uproar.
Better to die a thousand times than pay court to Philip A fine return the people of Oreus have gained for handing themselves over to Philip’s friends and rejecting Euphraeus!
In Defence of Lycophron
A wrestler, fellow-athlete of Dioxippus, described as one of the strongest men in Greece and present at the bridal procession.
Was I then so utterly senseless, do you think, that with all those other people in the procession, as well as Dioxippus and Euphraeus his fellow-wrestler, both acknowledged to be the strongest men in Greece, I had the impudence to pass such comments on a free woman, in the hearing of everyone, and was not afraid of being strangled on the spot?
