Agelasto and Iphigenia Rodocanachi? According to the letter of the will, Pericles gained most. All the property (plots of land, houses, bills of exchange, bonds, and cash) were bequeathed to him. In this way Theodoros affirmed the traditional concept of transferring the property to the son in order to secure the continuity of the family..."
