After Apollodorus, son of Pasion, had eagerly served as trierarch for the appointed time, he extended his trierarchy for a not insignificant additional amount of time because his successor Polycles did not come to the ship immediately, and when he did finally come he did not take over from Apollodorus immediately, but rather gave the excuse that he was waiting for his partner in the trierarchy. Since the time spent in the extension of his trierarchy was so long, Apollodorus demands that his expenses be recouped from Polycles.
