Having thus settled our sisters, gentlemen, and, being ourselves of military age, we adopted the career of a soldier and went abroad with Iphicrates to Thrace.See Introduction, p. 39.

Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 2, section 9
At first she would not even listen to his suggestion, but in course of time she with difficulty consented. So we gave her in marriage to Elius of Sphettus,A deme south-west of Athens. and Menecles handed over her dowry to him—for he had become part-lessee of the estate of the children of NiciasSee Introduction, p. 38.—and he gave her the garments which she had brought with her to his house and the jewelry which there w

My brother having died last year, Phile, ignoring the existence of the last tenant, came forward, claiming to be the legitimate daughter of our uncle, and Xenocles of Coprus,A deme belonging to the tribe of Hippothontis.

Thus, when Xenocles went to our factory at the mines at Besa,Besa is situated in the extreme south of Attica near Laurium. It appears that the estate of Pyrrhus included a factory at Besa and that Xenocles proceeded thither after the death of Pyrrhus in order to take possession of it: knowing that he would be forcibly prevented from doing so, he took with him witnesses of his eviction. he did not think it sufficient to rely on any chance person who happened to be there as witness regarding the eviction, but took with him from Athens Diophantus of Sphettus, who defended him in the former case, and Dorotheus of Eleusis,See Introduction. and his brother Philochares, and many other witnesses, having invited them to make a journey of nearly three hundred stades from here to there;
