Against Ctesiphon
A general whom Aeschines says lacked authority because Demosthenes transferred land leadership to Thebes.
The result was that in all the war that followed, Stratocles, your general, had no authority to plan for the safety of his troops.
Against Pantaenetus
A man accused by Nicobulus of being in league with Pantaenetus as a witness or supporter.
—or that he comes into court with his confidence fixed upon the facts, and not rather upon assertions and upon the witnesses who are in league with him (that foul blackguard Procles, the tall fellow there, and Stratocles, the smoothest-tongued of men and the basest), and in his readiness to weep and wail without disguise or shame?
First Olynthiac
An Amphipolitan envoy who joined Hierax in urging Athens to sail for Amphipolis.
When we returned from the Euboean expedition and Hierax and Stratocles, the envoys of Amphipolis, mounted this platform and bade you sail and take over their city, if we had shown the same earnestness in our own cause as in defence of the safety of Euboea, Amphipolis would have been yours at once and you would have been relieved of all your subsequent difficulties.
On the Estate of Hagnias
Cousin of Hagnias, brother of Stratius, and father of the child on whose behalf the present suit is brought; died before he could pursue his own claim to Hagnias's estate.
Stratocles, however, happened to receive an addition of more than two and a half talents to his fortune;
A certain Hagnias had several cousins, namely, Theopompus, his brother Stratocles, Stratius, and Eubulides.
Stratocles and I had a patrimony sufficient to supply our needs but not large enough to defray the cost of public services.
Trapeziticus
A man who left gold with the plaintiff before sailing to Pontus, later cited by Pasion as evidence the plaintiff had no money.
but for me my dealings with Stratocles will constitute the strongest proof that I had gold on deposit with Pasion.
For when Stratocles inquired of me who would repay him in case my father failed to carry out my written instructions, and if, on his return, he should not find me here, I introduced Pasion to him, and Pasion himself agreed to repay him both the principal and the accrued interest.
Anabasis
