A decree
was moved by Aristophon in the Assembly, appointing a commission of inquiry, and
directing anyone, who knew of any sacred or public money in private hands, to
give information to the commission. Thereupon Euctemon laid an information that
Archebius and Lysitheides, who had served as naval captains, held property
captured in a ship of Naucratis to the
value of nine talents and thirty minas. He approached the Council, and a
provisional resolution was drafted. Subsequently the Assembly met, and the
people voted in favour of further inquiry.
