Eubulides

Eubulides (gr. Euboulides), an Athenian, who, having lost a cause, in which he was prosecutor, through the evidence given by a man named Euxitheus, revenged himself on the latter by getting a verdict passed in a very irregular manner by the members of his deme, that he was not an Athenian citizen. Euxitheus appealed to the dicasts of the Heliaea (see Dict. of Ant. s. v. Appellatio, Greek), and succeeded in establishing his citizenship. A speech composed in his defence has come down to us among those of Demosthenes, but is, by some critics, perhaps without sufficient reason, attributed to Lysias. (Dem. c. Eubulid. c. 5.)

Eubulides an Athenian, son of Sositheus and Phylomache, but adopted by his maternal grandfather. Eubulides. On his behalf a suit was commneneed against a relative of the name of Macartatus, for the recovery of some property. He being still a boy, his father, Sositheus, appeared for him. Demosthenes wrote in his defence the speech pros Makartaton.

The name Eubulides was borne by several others of this family, the genealogy of which it is rather difficult to make out; but it appears that Eubulides, the grandfather and adoptive father of the boy of the same name, was himself the grandson of another Eubulides, son of Buselus. (Dem. c. Macart. cc. 1-8.)
