Against Phaenippus (Greek)
For although he had sworn on the eleventh of the month Boedromion to give me a true and just inventory of his property, and the law expressly declares that the inventory shall be given within three days after one takes the oath, he came up to me in front of the courtrooms with Polyeuctus of Crioa and some others, and begged me, first to have a conference with him regarding a settlement, assuring m …

Against Spudias
A man of Teithras who died without male issue, father of the two wives, adoptive father of Leocrates, and source of the estate dispute.

Against Theocrines
The husband of Charidemus's mother, accused by Theocrines of plotting to retain the boy's property; Theocrines later indicted him for maltreatment of an orphan and dropped the charge for two hundred drachmae.
He made the further assertion that Polyeuctus, the husband of the boy’s mother, had been responsible for the whole scheme, since he wished to retain possession of the boy’s property.

Third Philippic
An Athenian envoy or associate in the previous year's anti-Philip mission.

In Defence of Euxenippus
The prosecutor who brought the impeachment (eisangelia) against Euxenippus; an Athenian politician previously convicted himself of making illegal proposals regarding the Oropus mountain dispute.
However, it seems to me, Polyeuctus, that there is nothing which you would not use as grounds for an accusation.
it is only here that you hate Olympias so that you can ruin Euxenippus by alleging that he flatters her and the Macedonians.
You proposed that these tribes should restore the mountain to Amphiaraus and the price of produce from it which they had sold;
