Demosthenes, Against Zenothemis, section 1 (search)
Men of the jury, having entered a plea that the action
is not admissible, I wish first to speak concerning the laws in accordance with
which the plea was entered. The laws, men of the jury, ordain that actions for
shipowners and merchants shall be upon loans for shipments to or from Athens, concerning which there shall be
written agreements; and if anyone brings suit in violation of this provision,
the action shall not be maintainable.
Demosthenes, Against Apatourius, section 1 (search)
The law, men of
Athens, ordains that actions for
merchants and shipowners shall be before the ThesmothetaeThe Thesmothetae were the six archons (other than
the Eponymus, the Basileus, and the Polemarch), and were empowered
to administer jus ce of any
other magistrate. if they have been in any way wronged in the market
either in connection with a voyage from Athens to any point, or from some other port to Athens; and it fixes imprisonment as the
penalty for wrongdoers until such time as they shall have paonnection with a voyage from Athens to any point, or from some other port to Athens; and it fixes imprisonment as the
penalty for wrongdoers until such time as they shall have paid the amount
adjudged against them, so that no one may lightly do wrong to any merchant.
Demosthenes, Against Phormio, section 10 (search)
After this, men
of Athens, the defendant was left in
Bosporus, while Lampis put to sea,
and was shipwrecked not far from the port; for although his ship was already
overloaded, as we learn, he took on an additional deck-load of one thousand
hides, which proved the cause of the loss of the vessel. He himself made his
escape in the boat with the rest of Dio's servants, but he lost more than
thirtyThe MS. reading is triako/sia (300), but it is
most unlikely that there were so many persons on board, unless this was a
slave ship. Such an aspiration, however, seems improbable, and does not
accord well with the statement that there was much mourning in Bosporus over the disaster. lives

He was known to us after a fashion, but we had no idea of his real character.
This was in fact a piece of misfortune for us as great, if so much may be said,
as our having to deal with rascals at the start. This man who was sent out by
us—his name was Aristophon, and he is the same one, as we now hear,
who managed the business of Miccalion—has entered into an agreement

Lampis himself,
to whom Phormio declares he had paid the gold (pray note this
carefully), when I approached him as soon as he had returned to
Athens after the shipwreck and
asked him about these matters, said that Phormio did not put the goods on board
the ship according to our agreement, nor had he himself received the gold from
him at that time in Bosporus.Read, please, the deposition of those who were
present.

reached Athens, after completing his
voyage in safety on another ship, I approached him and demanded payment of the

Demosthenes, Against Phormio, section 14 (search)
Lampis, men of Athens, was close at hand when I did this, yet he never
ventured to say that he had received the money from Phormio, nor did he say, as
he naturally would have done supposing his story to be true,
“Chrysippus, you are mad. Why do you summon this man? He has paid me
the money.” And not only did Lampis not say a word, but neither did
Phormio himself venture to say anything, although Lampis was standing by his
side, to whom he now declares he had paid the mon
Demosthenes, Against Phormio, section 15 (search)
Yet, men of Athens, it would surely have been natural for him to say,
“Why do you summon me, fellow? I have paid the money to this man who
is standing here ”—and at the same time to call upon Lampis
to corroborate his words. As it was, however, neither of them uttered a syllable
on an occasion so opportune.In proof that my
words are true, take, please, the deposition of those who witnessed the
summons.
Deposition
Demosthenes, Against Phormio, section 16 (search)
Now take the
complaint in the action which I commenced against him last year, for this is the
strongest possible proof that up to that time Phormio had never stated that he
had paid the money to Lampis.
Complaint
This action I commenced, men of
Athens, basing my complaint upon
nothing else than the report of Lampis, who denied that Phormio had put the
goods on board the ship or that he himself had received the money. Do not
imagine that I am so senseless, so absolutely crazy, as to have drawn up a
complaint like this, if Lampis (whose words would prove my contention
false) admitted that he had received the mon
Demosthenes, Against Phormio, section 17 (search)
More than this, men of
Athens, note another fact. These
very men entered a special plea last year, but dared not assert in their plea
that they had paid the money to Lampis.Now, pray
take the plea itself.
Special Plea
You hear, men of Athens. Nowhere in the plea is it stated
that Phormio had paid the money to Lampis, though I had expressly written inlea
You hear, men of Athens. Nowhere in the plea is it stated
that Phormio had paid the money to Lampis, though I had expressly written in the
complaint, which you heard a moment ago, that Phormio had not put the goods on
board the ship nor paid the money. For what other witness, then, should you
wait, when you have so significant a piece of evidence from these men
themselves?
