Make this reply to him yourselves, men of the jury, and also state
that against this boy Eubulides, son of Eubulides, son of the first cousin on
his father's side of Hagnias, whose estate is in question, neither Theopompus,
the father of Macartatus, nor any other man ever at any time won a judgement. At
the present time the contest and the trial to adjudge the estate of Hagnias are
between this son of Eubulides and the defendant Macartatus, the son of
Theopompus; and whichever of these two shall in your judgement speak most in
harmony with justice and the laws, to him, it is plain, you jurymen will give
your votes.
