In the arbitration between Abdera and Maroneia, the Teians, unsure whether his own lawyer was sufficient to protect the Abderites’ claims, sent for a lawyer from Miletus (Adak, Thonemann 1, ll. 43-8).

The Teians obtained his assistance through both a private favour and payment of a fee. For the meaning of these two aspects, see GED 06.04.674.
