Against Boeotus I
The tribe associated with Mantias, Mantitheus, and Boeotus after acknowledgment.
For it would have been just as much your right to go to school to the tribe Acamantis, and then the tribe would have been in manifest agreement with the giving of the name.
Tell me, Boeotus, how is it that you have now become a member of the tribe Acamantis, and of the deme Thoricus, and a son of Mantias, and have your share in the property left by him?
Nevertheless, although it is so plain that by his mother’s oath and the simplicity of him who tendered the oath to her, he has obtained a father and established his birth in the tribe Acamantis, instead of Hippothontis, the defendant Boeotus is not content with this, but has actually entered two or three suits against me for money, in addition to the malicious and baseless actions which he brought against me before.
In Defence of Euxenippus
One of the ten Athenian tribes (phylai), to which the disputed mountain near the sanctuary of Amphiaraus fell by lot.
This mountain fell to the lot of Acamantis and Hippothoontis.
But if the mountain really belonged to the two tribes and you tried to take it from them, surely we are entitled to be angry.
