Against Stephanus I
Father of Deinias, named in the deposition.
Deinias, son of Theomnestus, of Athmonon, deposes that he gave his daughter to Apollodorus to live with him as his wife according to the laws, and that he was never present when Apollodorus released Phormio from all claims, nor was ever aware that he had done so.
Theomnestus and Apollodorus Against Neaera
Athenian citizen who brings the indictment against Neaera; brother-in-law of Apollodorus and son-in-law by marriage relations, husband of Apollodorus's daughter.
The wrongs done me by Stephanus, men of Athens, which have led me to come forward to accuse this woman Neaera, have been told you by Theomnestus.
This fellow Stephanus indicted the decree as illegal, and came before a court.
For not only did Stephanus seek in this way to bring us to ruin, but he even wished to drive Apollodorus from his country.
In Defence of Lycophron
An associate of Ariston who receives the money Ariston extorts and uses it to buy slaves, paying Ariston a daily wage from the proceeds.
He gives the money to Theomnestus who takes it and buys slaves, providing Ariston with a livelihood, as is done for pirates, and paying him an obol a day for each slave, to enable him to continue permanently as a false informer.
