(Apollodoros outlines his reasons for bringing the lawsuit.) πόλλων ἔνεκα, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, ἐβουλόμην γράψασθαι Νέαιραν τὴν γράφην, ἣν νυνί διώκω, καὶ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς ὑμᾶς.
For many reasons, gentlemen of Athens, I wanted to bring this charge against Neaira, which I am now pursuing, and to come before you.
καὶ γὰρ ήδικήθην μεγάλα ὑπὸ Στεφάνου, οὗ γυνή ἐστιν ἡ Νέαιρα αὑτηί.
For (and I say that because) I was greatly wronged by Stephanos whose wife this Neaira is.
καὶ ἀδικηθεὶς ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς κινδύνους τοὺς ἐσχάτους κατέστην, καὶ οὑ μόνον ἐγὼ ἀλλὰ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ ἐμή.
And having been wronged by him, I was placed in extreme danger, not only myself, but my daughters and my wife.
τιμωρίας οὖν ἔνεκα ἀγωνίζομαι τὸν ἀγῶνα τουτονί, καταστὰς εἰς τοιοῦτον κίνδυνον.
It is therefore for the sake of revenge that I am engaging in this contest, having been placed in such danger.
οὐ γὰρ ὑπῆρξα τῆς ἔχθρας ἐγώ, ἀλλὰ Στέφανος, οὐδὲν ὑφ’ ἡμῶν πώποτε οὔτε λόγῳ οὔτε ἔργῳ ἀδικηθείς.
For I did not begin the enmity, but Stephanos did, [although] he had not been wronged in any way yet by word or deed.
βούλομαι δ’ ὑμῖν προδιηγήσασθαι πάνθ’ ἃ ἐπάθομεν και ὡς ἀδικηθέντες ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς ἐσχάτους κινδύνους κατέστημεν περί τε τῆς πενίας καὶ περὶ ἀτιμίας.
I want to give you a preliminary outline of everything we suffered and [to tell you] how, having been wronged by him, we were placed in extreme danger of poverty and loss of citizen rights.
ΣΤΡΥΜΟΔΩΡΟΣ δεινὸς δὴ λέγειν, ὡ ἕοικεν, Ἀπολλόδωρος, ὃς ὑπὸ Στεφάνου ἠδικήθη.
STRYMODOROS “Apollodoros, who was wronged by Stephanos, is a clever speaker, as it seems.”
εὔνοιαν δ’ ἔχω εἰς αὐτὸν ὅτι ὑπῆρξε τῆς ἔχθρας Στέφανος.
“I feel goodwill towards him because it was Stephanos who began the enmity.”
τίς γὰρ οὐκ ἂν βούλοιτο τιμωρεῖσθαι τὸν ἐχθρόν;
“For who would not want to take vengeance on an enemy?”
