Moreover the law dealing with wills is very similar to this. This law is quoted in Dem. 46.14 . Compare Isaeus 6.10 ; Aristot. Ath. Pol. 35 . As Colin points out, the comparison between συνθῆκαι (an agreement and διαθήλκη a will) seems closer in Greek than in English. It allows a man to bequeath his property as he wishes unless he is affected by old age, illness or insanity, and provided he is not influenced by a woman or imprisoned or otherwise coerced. But if even our own personal property cannot be administered according to an unjust will, surely Athenogenes who is disposing of my property through his agreement cannot enforce such terms.
