Against Aphobus III
Aphobus's brother-in-law, recipient of his farm and accused collaborator in procuring false witnesses.

For he has himself suborned men to bear false witness about these matters, having as co-workers his brother-in-law Onetor, and Timocrates;
Against Onetor I
The defendant, brother-in-law of Aphobus, accused by Demosthenes of falsely claiming a mortgage on land to shield Aphobus's property from a damages judgment.
Nor was it only at the trial that he acted thus, but after judgement had been rendered against Aphobus, he got up before the court and begged the jurymen, beseeching and imploring them on behalf of Aphobus with tears in his eyes, to fix the damages at a talent, and offered himself as surety for this amount.

Yet observe that this is a proof not only that his wife was living with Aphobus and that Onetor was on intimate terms with him, but also that he had not paid the dowry.
It is plain, then, that Onetor having put up pillars on the house for two thousand drachmae, and on the land for a talent, intended to push his claim as though he had paid eighty minae.
from these facts alone it is clear that he has never paid the dowry, but as a close friend of Aphobus he took this mortgage in return for my large property, wishing to make his sister jointly with Aphobus an inheritor of my estate.
