On The Estate Of Pyrrhus (57)

Deposition

Here is another proof that they do not admit that the adoption of Endius by Pyrrhus ever took place, namely, that they would never otherwise have thought of demanding the award of the inheritance to this woman, ignoring the long tenancy of the last heir. For Pyrrhus has been dead for more than twenty years, whereas Endius died in the month of Metageitnion[*] last year, in which month they promptly claimed the inheritance only two days after his death.
