He assented, gentlemen; so in accordance with our agreement we both applied for an order of the court. The girl claimed by me happened to fall ill, and died; the other is still alive. Now Callias tried to bribe Leagrus into letting him have this second daughter.Callias was actually claiming the girl on his son’s behalf (Andoc. 1.121); as her grandfather, he was forbidden by law to marry her himself. Directly I heard of it, I deposited a fee,The παράστασις was a fee of one drachmae, paid by anyone disputing the claim of a relative to an ἐπίκληρος. and began by obtaining leave to proceed against Leagrus, to this effect: If you will claim the girl for yourself, take her and good luck to you. If not, I will claim her myself.If Leagrus stood aside, Andocides would have a prior claim to Callias’ son in the eyes of the law.
