Cytherus was a deme of the tribe Pandionis. And first I led them around the farm, the circuit of which was more than forty stades, The stade was roughly a furlong. and pointed out to them, and called them to witness in the presence of Phaenippus, that there were no mortgage-pillars Inscribed pillars were set up to indicate that a piece of property was mortgaged.

He answered me that some of the grain had been sold, and that some was stored within.
