ABSTRACT
Hypereides wrote this speech for delivery by Lycophron, an Athenian prosecuted by eisangelia (Part Three, Athens under Alexander, pp. 189-90) for seducing the wife of a fellow citizen. Lycophron delivered the speech before a jury-court (dikastêrion: General Introduction, pp. 5-6). The lead prosecutor was one Ariston; Lycurgus (§3; Part Three, Athens under Alexander, pp. 189-90) assisted by composing two speeches for the prosecution, of which small fragments survive (Lycurgus fr. X-XI Conomis). The verdict in the case is unknown.
