The Law of Intellectual Property
Land property used as an illustrative analogy alongside the house example.

Against Onetor II
The mortgaged farm/land on which Onetor set up a pillar recording a debt of a talent, whose valuation he shifts to suit his interest.

and he set up pillars on the house for two thousand drachmae, and on the land for a talent, wishing to preserve both the one and the other for Aphobus.
