Menexenus （II.） was paid out as he deserved for his evil conduct, being deceived by Dicaeogenes （III.）; he let off the accused witnesses and threw us over, but he received no reward for his services. Having been thus wronged by Dicaeogenes （III.）, he made common cause with us again; and we, judging that Dicaeogenes （III.） had no longer any right to any part of the property forming the estate, since the witnesses had been convicted, claimed from him the whole estate on the ground of affinity. That our decision to act thus has been a right one and that Dicaeogenes （III.） has no longer any right to a share in the estate, I shall easily prove to you.
