Read about the evidence
Libanius (Lib. Arg. Orat. Dem.).
(1) When Apollodorus sued Phormio for the bank’s capital, and Phormio indicted him for an illegal prosecution,44 Stephanus along with some others testified on Phormio’s behalf that Phormio had issued a challenge to Apollodorus: if Apollodorus denies that the documents that Phormio presents are copies of his father Pasion’s will, to open the original will which Amphias has and offers to provide. But Apollodorus refused to open them, and they were actually copies of Pasion’s will. (2) Stephanus’s supporters testified to this, while Apollodorus claimed that Phormio fabricated the will and that the whole affair was a fraud. (3) So after losing his case, Apollodorus takes Stephanus to court for giving false testimony.
