Against Pantaenetus
The plaintiff, borrower, lessee, and adversary accused of bringing a malicious and unlawful suit after release.
But which one of these qualities has any bearing on my dispute with you, Pantaenetus?
The vendor to us of the mining property and the slaves was Mnesicles, for he had purchased them for the plaintiff from Telemachus, the former owner;
Evergus and I, men of the jury, lent to this man Pantaenetus one hundred and five minae on the security of a mining property in Maroneia and of thirty slaves.

Figure named as the subject of Demosthenes' speech on usury
Demosthenes, in his speech against Pantaenetus, condemns it as an odious act of injustice, to charge with usury a man, who in order to keep his principal undiminished, or to assist another with money, lends out the savings of his industry and frugal habits, upon a moderate interest.
