Besides this he left in his wife's hands 30 Cyzikene staters (= 8 minæ 40 drachmæ) and 20 minæ of ready money (Attic), which she, however, handed over to her father (1. 124).

(2) The second is the account as at length acknowledged
by Diogeiton, § 15.

From this would have to be deducted the two dowries of a talent each, leaving 7 talents 40 mince to be accounted for. Diogeiton declared, § 20, that he had spent on the children 8 talents 10 minæ, and that therefore he was out of pocket 30 minæ. The speaker, therefore, to prove the absurdity of this, proceeds,―admitting the amount of receipts as 7 talents 40 minæ,-to analyze his accounts of expenses, and is just about to give what he thinks would be a fair account, when the fragment comes to an end.]

But this calculation assumes that the two dowries were provided for separately from the money calculated in §§ 5-6; whereas it seems, from the comparison of § 15 with § 29, that this was not so. For in the latter passage he accepts Diogeiton's account, as found in the mislaid accountbook, viz. receipt of 9 talents 40 minæ (§ 15), and reckons him as being responsible for 7 talents 40 minæ (§ 29),—that is to say, the amount given in the account-book minus the two dowries.

And in the next place Professor Jebb's account reckons the Cyzikene stater at 20 drachmæ, which was the value of the Attic stater; the Cyzikene stater seems to have been equal to 28 Attic drachmæ. Demosth. 914.

And thirdly, the 20 mine and 30 Cyzikene staters were apparently not taken into account in any of the reckonings. They were for immediate expenses, and were doubtless spent, but handed over to Diogeiton unconditionally (äπeρ éyw σa ědwкα, 1. 124). We must observe that the payment of the dowries is not disputed, though the widow, he says, was not paid in full. The daughter no doubt was, or the speaker, who is her husband, would have mentioned it.

To this must be added the two dowries, which Diogeiton had apparently paid: the daughters, 1 talent (if this had been curtailed the speaker would have mentioned it, as the girl was his wife); the widow's, 50 minæ, which brings up the amount thus accounted for to 11 talents 30 minæ, still below the original amount, 1. 43.
