Libanius, Hypotheses to the Orations of Demosthenes 

Craig Gibson, trans., edition of April 30, 2003

page 50 of 58

· § 49 (Dem. 49) ·

Read about the evidence
Aristotle (Aristot. Rh.).

(1) Apollodorus demands that Timotheus the Athenian, a well-respected man and former general of the city, pay his debts. He claims that Timotheus, with the help of his friend Pasion, received money from him and so is listed as a debtor in the bank’s accounts. (2) In fact, there is a total of four debts, and for each one he relates the precise times and reasons for which Timotheus borrowed money. He provides the greatest number of arguments from the so-called “inartistic” proofs (atechnoi pisteis)—depositions and challenges—but also some artistic proofs (entechnoi pisteis) from probability.48 (3) Apollodorus says that Timotheus is the borrower and that money was paid from the bank to the men introduced to him by Timotheus, but Timotheus says that he is not responsible for the debt-those men are.

— Notes —

Note 48   “Inartistic proofs” are proofs that do not have to be invented by the speaker; “artistic” proofs are those which do. The terms are defined and discussed in Aristotle, Rhetoric 1.2.2 (1355b 35-40).
