Later on, as a result of slander which reached Satyrus to the effect that my father was
 plotting against the throne and that I was associating with the exiles, Satyrus arrested
 my father and sent orders to citizens of Pontus in residence here in Athens to take
 possession of my money and to bid me to return and, if I refused to obey, to demand of you
 my extradition. When I found myself in difficulties so embarrassing, men of the jury, I related my
 troubles to Pasion; for I was on such intimate terms with him that I had the greatest
 confidence in him, not only in matters of money, but in everything else as well. I thought
 that, if I should yield control of all my money, I should run the risk, in case my father
 met with misfortune, after having been deprived of my money both here in Athens and at
 home, of becoming utterly destitute; and that, if I should acknowledge the existence of
 money here, yet fail to surrender it at Satyrus’ command, I should create the most serious
 grounds of complaint against myself and my father in the mind of Satyrus. On deliberation we decided that it would be best to agree to comply with all of Satyrus’
 demands and to surrender the money whose existence was known, but with respect to the
 funds on deposit with Pasion we should not only deny their existence but also make it
