(To the clerk.
) Please read the agreement again.
Against Zenothemis
A written security agreement that Zenothemis and Hegestratus deposited with a crew member before the attempted sabotage, used as evidence of their collusion.

Against Athenogenes
The sealed written contract of sale between the speaker and Athenogenes, drafted to obscure Midas's true debts within a footnoted clause.
