Demosthenes, Against Apatourius, section 13 (search)
Since then I
have had no business transaction with the fellow, whether great or small, but
Parmeno sued him for damages for the blows which he received from him when he
laid hands on the slaves as they were being carried off, and because he had been
prevented by him from making the voyage to Sicily. When the action had been instituted, Parmeno tendered
an oath to Apaturius regarding some of his charges, and he accepted it, and
furthermore made a deposit to be forfeited if he did not swear the
oath.In proof that my words are true, take
the deposition.
Deposition
Demosthenes, Against Zenothemis, section 19 (search)
Protus on his part adjured us by the gods
to put him out, declaring himself ready to sail back to Sicily; but if, despite this willingness of
his, I should give up the grain to Zenothemis, he said it made no difference to
him. To prove that I am telling the truth in this—that the plaintiff
refused to be put out of possession except by me, that he refused the challenge
to sail back to Sicily, and tp the grain to Zenothemis, he said it made no difference to
him. To prove that I am telling the truth in this—that the plaintiff
refused to be put out of possession except by me, that he refused the challenge
to sail back to Sicily, and that he
deposited the agreement in the course of the voyage—read the
depositions.
Depositions
Demosthenes, Against Zenothemis, section 20 (search)
When, therefore, he refused to be put out of possession
by Protus, or to sail back to Sicily
for an equitable settlement, and when it was proved that he was an accomplice in
all the villainy of Hegestratus, the only course left for us, who had lent our
money here at Athens and had taken
over the grain from the man who had honestly purchased it there in Sicily, was to dispossess the plaintiff.

Demosthenes, Against Zenothemis, section 21 (search)
What else could we have done? Not one of
us partners had as yet any idea that you would ever declare the grain to be this
man's property—grain which he tried to induce the sailors to abandon,
that it might be lost by the sinking of the ship. This fact is the strongest
proof that none of it belonged to him; for who would have tried to induce those
who were attempting to save it to abandon grain which belonged to himself? Or
who would not have accepted the challenge and have sailed to Sicily, where these matters might have been
clearly proved
