Against Conon (Greek)
Not long after this, however, one evening, when I was taking a walk, as my custom was, in the agora with Phanostratus of Cephisia, a man of my own age, Ctesias, the son of the defendant, passed by me in a drunken state opposite the Leocorion, near the house of Pythodorus.
in the texts
On the Choreutes
A relative (son-in-law) of the defendant and fellow demesman of the accusers, appointed to attend to the chorus boys' needs while the defendant was occupied with litigation.
Being thus occupied myself, I arranged that the needs of the chorus should be attended to by Phanostratus, a member of the same deme as my accusers here and a relative of my own (he is my son-in-law);
Against Conon
A young companion of the plaintiff from Cephisia who was attacked during the encounter near the Leocorion.
Not long after this, however, one evening, when I was taking a walk, as my custom was, in the agora with Phanostratus of Cephisia, a man of my own age, Ctesias, the son of the defendant, passed by me in a drunken state opposite the Leocorion, near the house of Pythodorus.
When we got close to them one of them, I don’t know which, fell upon Phanostratus and pinned him, while the defendant Conon together with his son and the son of Andromenes threw themselves upon me.
On the Estate of Philoctemon
Husband of one of Philoctemon's sisters and father of Chaerestratus; a wealthy Athenian who performed numerous public liturgies including seven trierarchies.
Phanostratus was on the point of setting out with Timotheus in command of a trireme, and his ship lying at anchor at Munychia, and his brother-in-law Chaereas was there bidding him farewell.
Phanostratus has already been trierarch seven times, and he has performed all the public services and has generally been victorious.
That I am on terms of very close friendship with Phanostratus and with Chaerestratus here, I think most of you, gentlemen, are aware, but to those who are not aware of it I will give a convincing proof.
