On the
second day of the month Metageitnion,1 men of the jury, the generals appointed a court for the
Three Hundred for the tendering of exchanges. Among these I cited this man
Phaenippus as the law provides. After citing him, I took some of my friends and
relatives, and proceeded to his outlying farm at Cytherus.2 And first
I led them around the farm, the circuit of which was more than forty
stades,3 and pointed out to them, and called them to witness in the
presence of Phaenippus, that there were no mortgage-pillars4
on the farm, and I bade Phaenippus, if he said there were, to declare it at once
and point them out to me, for fear some debt existing against the property might
be brought to light later on.
