in the texts
Against Aphobus II
The Athenian polity and its treasury, to which property values were disclosed for tax assessment and to which the grandfather was allegedly indebted.
For you will find that the evidence adduced proves not that my grandfather is a state-debtor, but that he was one.
For he declared that my grandfather was a debtor to the state, and that for this reason my father would not have the property let, for fear of the risks he would run.
Of the four talents and three thousand drachmae, you received the two talents and eighty minae, so that you did not include even these in the return you made on my behalf to the public treasury;
Against Aristogeiton I
The Athenian civic body whose treasury, laws, harmony, and welfare are at stake.
for every state-debtor is one too many, and no others ought to be in debt to the State.
And do not imagine, Athenians, that I am debating the point with you, as if you were debtors to the treasury.
Hence it is that that general harmony, which is the source of all our blessings, is firmly established in our city.
