Constitution of the Athenians
Husband of Creusa, nominal father of Ion though the passage names Apollo as the true father.

Against Aphobus I
A debtor who received a seventy-mina maritime loan from the father, listed among the estate's assets.

Against Aphobus III
A man with whom Aphobus made common cause in a maritime loan, dividing the money and destroying the contract.
But in the matter of the maritime loan you made common cause with Xuthus, divided the money with him, and destroyed the contract, and now that you have arranged everything to suit your wish, and have done away with the documentary evidence (as Demo testified against you), you have recourse to trickery, and endeavor to mislead these gentlemen.
