*kefa/laion
Adler number: kappa,1442

Translation: Some of those whose familiarity with the speeches written by the Ten [Attic] Orators has been acquired carelessly think that [the term]
kephalaion is applied only to a subject and a speech; witness e.g. in
Aeschines, in the speech
Against Ktesiphon: "for lack of money the mercenaries did not hand over the citadel to the Thebans; and when all the Arkadians had been mobilized, did not the matter lapse because of nine talents of silver. But you are a rich man and you serve as
choregos to your own pleasures -- and in a word, this man [
Demosthenes] gets the king's gold, [we get the dangers]".[1] But
kephalaion is also used in reference to money; as [sc. elsewhere] in the [speech]
Against Ktesiphon Aeschines [writes]: "and [the men of Oreos] paid
Demosthenes the bribe-taker interest, at a drachma per mina per month, until they paid off the capital".[2]
