[49]
He had the audacity to say
before the arbitrator1 that he had paid many debts for me out of the estate to
Demophon and Therippides, his fellow-guardians, and that they received a large
part of my property, yet neither of these facts was he able to prove. He did not
show by the books that my father left me in debt, nor has he brought forward as
witnesses the men whom he says he paid; nor, again, is the amount of money which
he charged against his fellow-guardians equal to the amount which he is shown to
have received himself. On the contrary, it is much less.
