Against Olympiodorus
A slave in Olympiodorus' share of the estate, formerly trusted by Comon, who confessed under threat or torture to stealing money from Comon.
and Comon, who was oldish and who had confidence in him, was unaware that this slave Moschion was stealing his money.
This slave had a pretty good knowledge of all Comon’s other affairs, and in particular knew where the money was which Comon kept in the house;
Not long after this, as a result of the suspicion against the slave in regard to the money, the defendant had the man bound and again put to the torture.
