Libanius, Hypotheses to the Orations of Demosthenes 

Craig Gibson, trans., edition of April 30, 2003

page 31 of 58

· § 30 (Dem. 29) ·

Read about the evidence
Libanius (Lib. Arg. Orat. Dem.).

(1) While Aphobus was still a defendant in the guardianship case,38 he demanded Milyas from Demosthenes for torture, knowing that Demosthenes would not give him up. Demosthenes did not give him up, saying that Milyas was not a slave, but rather was a free man who was manumitted by his father upon his death. As proof of this, he offered (among other evidence) the testimony of Phanus, who testified before the jury, saying that Aphobus had admitted before the arbitrator that Milyas was a free man. (2) Convicted in the guardianship case, Aphobus takes Phanus to court on a charge of perjury. Demosthenes delivers this speech on behalf of Phanus, saying that Phanus has testified truthfully, and he furthermore shows that Aphobus was in no way harmed because of this testimony, but rather was convicted because of other witnesses, and as he had not successfully prosecuted them, it was clear that he had done wrong.
