Question 4

the evidence is clear.

Question 5

νῦν δε Βουλομαι ὑμιν ἐπιδειξαι ὅτι Στέφανος αὐτος καταμαρτυρεί Νεαίρας ὡς, ξένη οὖσα, συνοικει αὐτῳ ὡς γυνη.

Answer 5

Now I want to demonstrate to you that Stephanos himself provides evidence against Neaira that she is living with him as his wife although she is a foreigner.

Question 6

ἦν γαρ τῇ Νεαιρα θυγατηρ, ἥν ἦλθεν ἐχουσα εἱς την τοῦ Στεφανου οἱκιαν.

Question 8

προτερον γαρ Στυβηλη ἑκαλειτο, πριν Ἀθηναζε ἐλθειν.

Answer 8

Formerly she had been called Strybele, before she came to Athens.

Question 9

αὐτη δε ἡ κορη ἑξεδοθη ὑπο του Στεφανου τουτουι, ὡσπερ αὑτου θυγατηρ οὐσα και ἐξ ἀστης γυναικος, ἀνδρι Ἀθηναιῳ, Φραστορι Αἰγιλει.

Answer 9

This girl was given in marriage by Stephanos here, as if she had been his own daughter from a citizen wife, to an Athenian man, Phrastor of the deme of Aigileia.

Question 10

και προικα ἐδωκεν ὁ Στεφανος τριακοντα υνας.

Answer 10

And Stephanos gave her a dowry of thirty minas.

Question 11

και δη ἰστε την Φανω, πριν συνοικειν τῳ Φραστορι, την της μητρος φυσιν και ἀκολασιαν μαθουσαν.

Answer 11

And moreover you know that Phano, before she lived with Phrastor, had learned her mother’s character and extravagance.

Question 12

ἐπειδη οὖν ἦλθεν ὡς τον Φραστορα, ὃς ἀνηρ ἐργατης ἦν και ἀκριβως τον βιον συνελεγετο, οὐκ ἠπιστατο τοις του Φραστορος τροποις ἀρεσκειν.

Answer 12

Therefore when she went to Phrastor, who was a working man and managed his income carefully, she did not know how to make herself pleasing to Phrastor’s ways.

Question 13

ὁρων δε ὁ Φραστωρ αὐτην οὐτε κοσμιαν οὐσαν οὐτ᾽ ἐθελουσαν πειθεσθαι αὐτῳ,

Answer 13

Phrastor, seeing that she was neither well behaved nor willing to obey him,

Question 14

ἁμα δε πυθομενος σαφως την Φανω οὐ Στεφανου ἀλλα Νεαιρας θυγατερα οὐσαν,

Answer 14

and at the same time having found out clearly that Phano was not the daughter of Stephanos but of Neaira,

Question 15

ὠργισθη μαλιστα, ἡγουμενος ὑπο Στεφανου ὑβρισθηναι και ἑξαπατηθηναι.

Answer 15

was very angry, thinking that he had been deceived and treated disgracefully by Stephanos.

Question 16

ἐγημε γαρ την Φανω πριν εἰδεναι αὐτην Νεαρας οὐσαν θυγατερα.

Answer 16

For he had married Phano before he knew that she was the daughter of Neaira.

Question 17

ἐκβαλλει οὐν την Φανω ἐνιαυτον συνοικησας αὐτῃ, κυουσαν, και την προικα οὐκ ἀποδιδωσιν.

Answer 17

Therefore he divorced Phano, having lived with her for a year, she was pregnant, and he did not give back the dowry.

Question 18

ἀλλ᾽ εἰ ὑπο Στεφανου μη ἐξηπατηθη ὁ Φραστωρ και Φανω γνησια ἦν, ἢ οὐκ ἂν ἐξεβαλεν αὐτην ὁ Φραστωρ, ἢ ἀπεδωκεν ἂν την προικα.

Answer 18

If Stephanos had not deceived Phrastor and if Phano had been legitimate, either Phrastor would not have divorced her or he would have given back the dowry.

Question 19

ἐκπεσουσης δε Φανους, ἐλαχε Στεφανος δικην τῳ Φραστορι, κατα τον νομον ὁς κελευει τον ἀνδρα τον ἀποπεμποντα την υθναικα ἀποδιδοναι την προικα.

Answer 19

When Phano had been divorced, Stephanos brought a suit against Phrastor, in accordance with the law which requires a man who divorces his wife to give back the dowry.

Question 20

λαχοντος δε Στεφανου την δικην ταυτην, γραφεται Φραστωρ Στεφανον τουτονι γραφην κατα τον νομον ὃς οὐκ ἐᾷ τινα ἐγγθησαι την ξενης θυγατερα ἀνδρι Ἀθηναιῳ.

Answer 20

But when Stephanos had brought this suit, Phrastor brought a charge against Stephanos here in accordance with the law which does not allow anyone to betroth the daughter of an alien to an Athenian man.

Question 21

γνους δε Στεφανος ὁτι ἐξελεγχθησεται ἀδικων και ὁτι, ἐξελεγχθεις, κινδυνευσει ταις ἐσχαταις ζημιαις περιπεσειν

Answer 21

Stephanos, realising that he would be convicted of doing wrong and that having been convicted he would risk meeting with the most severe penalties

Question 22

(ξενης γαρ θυγατηρ ἦν ἡ Φανω), διαλλαττεται προς τον Φραστορα και ἀφισταται της προικος και ἀνειλετο την δικην.

Answer 22

(for Phano was the daughter of an alien woman), was reconciled with Phrastor and gave up his claim to the dowry and withdrew the charge.

Question 23

και πριν εἰς δικαστηριον ε᾽σελθειν, και ὁ Φραστωρ ἀνειλετο την γραφην.

Answer 23

And, before the case came to court, Phrastor also withdrew his charge.

Question 24

ἀλλ᾽ εἰ ἀστης θυγατηρ ἦν Φανω, οὐκ ἂν διηλλαχθη Στεφανος.

Answer 24

But if Phano had been the daughter of a citizen woman, Stephanos would not have been reconciled.
