Headword: Φρύνων καὶ Φιλοκράτης
Adler number: phi,769
Translated headword: Phrynon and Philokrates
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Both traitors. The latter was exiled because of his treachery and reviled for brothel-keeping, whereas Phrynon [was reviled] for proffering his son, whom Philip took away.[1] But Phokion the son of Phokos[2] gave [him] money in many ways and helped in dowering his daughters and freed up his property all round. So he was called [Phokion] the Good by a public vote in the assembly; and when serving as a juror he always cast the [vote for] acquittal. Demosthenes, however, says that this [was done] in the presence of Satyros, for the sake of the daughters of Apollophanes;[3] this is what some transfer to Phokion and claim that he took them to Athens and dowered them.
Greek Original:
Φρύνων καὶ Φιλοκράτης: ἀμφότεροι προδόται. καὶ ὁ μὲν διὰ τὴν προδοσίαν ἔφυγε καὶ ἐπὶ πορνοβοσκίᾳ διεβάλλετο, ὁ δὲ Φρύνων ἐπὶ τῇ τοῦ παιδὸς προαγωγείᾳ, ὃν ἀπήγαγε Φιλίππῳ: Φωκίων δὲ ὁ Φώκου πολλοῖς χρήματα ἔδωκε καὶ θυγατέρας συνεξέδωκε καὶ πᾶσιν ἀνίει τὰ αὑτοῦ. χρηστὸς οὖν ἐκλήθη κοινῇ ψήφῳ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ: δικάζων δὲ ἀεὶ τὴν σῴζουσαν ἔφερεν. ὃ δὲ ἐπὶ Σατύρου φησὶν ὁ Δημοσθένης ἕνεκα τῶν Ἀπολλοφάνους θυγατέρων, τοῦτο εἰς Φωκίωνά τινες ἀναφέρουσι καί φασιν ὅτι λαβὼν αὐτὰς εἰς Ἀθήνας ἤγαγε καὶ ἐξέδωκεν.
