Now, in their previous prosecution, among other lying charges that they made against my father, they stated that PhrynichusAn active member of the oligarchy of Four Hundred (411 B.C.); cf. Lys. 13.70, . was a relation of his. Well, let anyone, if he pleases, bear witness, in the time allowed for my speech, that there was kinship with Phrynichus.
