Against Stephanus I
The deceased father of Apollodorus, an Acharnaean banker whose will and bank lease are disputed.
This is the will of Pasio of Acharnae.
On the following terms Pasio has let the bank to Phormio:
For you all know that, while my father was engaged in the banking business, Phormio sat at the counter and was his manager;
Against Stephanus II
Apollodorus' deceased father, alleged by the opposing side to have made the disputed will but portrayed by Apollodorus as legally unable to do so.
If, now, he maintains that it was a challenge and not a deposition, he is not telling the truth.
You have heard the law, then, which does not permit a man to dispose of his property by will, if he have male children lawfully born.
But to depose that what was written in the document which Phormio produced was a copy of the will of Pasio, without having been present when Pasio made the will, or knowing that he had made one, does this not seem to you to be a manifest piece of insolence?
For Phormio
Banker, father of Apollodorus and Pasicles, former slave, testator, and original owner of the leased bank and shield-factory.
The Will.
After this, Pasio became ill;
Nay, in defiance of the will and the imprecations written in it by your father, you harass him, you prosecute him, you calumniate him.
