At the bottom of this decree was subscribed the sentence.—

“Archeptolemus son of Hippodamus, the Agrylian, and Antiphon son of

Sophilus, the Ramnusian, being both present in court, are condemned

of treason. And this was to be their punishment: that they should be

delivered to the eleven executioners, their goods confiscated, the

tenth part of them being first consecrated to Minerva; their houses to

be levelled with the ground, and in the places where they stood this

subscription to be engraven on brass, '[The houses] of Archeptolemus

and Antiphon, traitors.’...[8] That Archeptolemus and Antiphon should

neither of them be buried in Athens, nor anywhere else under that

government. And besides all this, that their posterity should be

accounted infamous, bastards as well as their lawful progeny; and he

too should be held infamous who should adopt any one of their progeny

for his son. And that all this should be engrossed and engraven on a

brass column, and that column should be placed where that stands on

which is engraven the decree concerning Phrynichus.”
