Diocles, Lyco, Athanes. I leave the School to Lyco, for
the rest are either too old, or otherwise employed. All the rest
shall do well if they confirm this choice that I have made. I
bequeath likewise all my Books unto him, except those which
are written by our own hand, besides all Vtensills, Carpets,
and Cups for Feasting. Let the Executors give 500.
Drachmes to Epicrates and one of the servants, which
Arcesilaus shall think good. Let Lampyrion and Arcesi∣laus
discharge all the debts, which Daippus undertook for
Hiraeus. Let nothing be owing either to Lampyrion or to
the heirs of Lampyrion, but let him be discharged of all,
and the Executors bestow on him 500. Drachmes, and one
of the servants, as Arcesilaus shall think good; that having
taken much paines with us, he may have sufficient for food
and rayment. I ma••••mit Diophantus, and Diocles, and
Abus. I give Simmias to Arcesilaus. I manumit Dromo.
When Arcesilaus shall come, let Hiraeus with Olympicus
and Epicrates, and the rest of the Executors cast up the
Accounts of the charges of my Funerall and other things;
whatsoever is over and above, let Arcesilaus take it of O∣lympicus,
not pressing him upon the day of payment. Let
Arcesilaus discharge the Covenants which Strato made
with Olympicus, and Aminias, which are in the hands of
Philocrates Son of Tisamenus. As for my Tombe, let it be
ordered as Arcesilaus, and Olympicus, and Lyco shall
think good.
