Who, then, are those still surviving in
the branch of Hagnias? Phylomachê, my wife, who is the daughter of
Eubulides, the cousin of Hagnias, and this boy, who has been adopted into the
family of Eubulides and Hagnias. Theopompus, however, the father of the
defendant Macartatus, not being himself of the branch of Hagnias, told the
jurymen a monstrous lie regarding Phylomachê, the sister of Polemon
and the aunt of Hagnias, alleging that she was not the sister of Polemon, the
son of Hagnias, by the same father and mother, and another in pretending that he
himself was of the same family as Hagnias, whereas he had never belonged to it.
