Against Macartatus
Defendant in the suit, son of Theopompus and descendant of Stratius, accused of wrongfully holding Hagnias' estate.
I know well that he would say, Macartatus.
But to Macartatus here they say not a word, nor to Theopompus, his father;
Not, by Heaven, to Theopompus nor to Macartatus, the son of Theopompus, who are in no sense whatever of the family of Hagnias.
On the Estate of Hagnias
Brother of Theopompus's wife who sold his land to outfit a trireme, sailed to Crete, and died in the ensuing war, after which Theopompus's son was adopted into his family.

The estate at Prospalta was left and passed to their sister, who is my wife, and I was persuaded by her to allow one of our two sons to be adopted into the family of Macartatus.
