Stephanos, then, married his daughter to Theogenes while he was holding the office of basileus, and this woman performed these holy rites.

Question 12

γενομένων δὲ τούτων τῶν ἱερῶν, καὶ ἀναβάντων
εἰς Ἄρειον⁀πάγον τῶν ἐννέα ἀρχόντων,

ἤρετο ἡ βουλὴ ἡ ἐν Ἀρείῳ⁀πάγῳ περὶ τῶν ἱερῶν, τίς αὐτὰ ποιήσειε καὶ πῶς πράξειαν οἱ ἄρχοντες.

καὶ πυθομένη ἥστινος θυγατέρα γυναῖκα ἔχοι Θεογένης, καὶ ὁποῖα ποιήσειεν αὐτή,

περὶ τῶν ἱερῶν πρόνοιαν⁀ἐποιεῖτο καὶ ἐζημίου τὸν Θεογένη.

Answer 14

And when it found out whose daughter Theogenes had as a wife, and what sort of things she had done,

it showed concern about the rites and proposed to punish Theogenes.

Question 15

γενομένων δὲ λόγων,

καὶ χαλεπῶς⁀φερούσης τῆς ἐν Ἀρείῳ⁀πάγῳ βουλῆς,

καὶ ζημιούσης τὸν Θεογένη, ὅτι τοιαύτην λάβοι γυναῖκα καὶ ταύτην ἐάσειε ποιῆσαι τὰ ἱερὰ τὰ ἄρρητα ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως,

ἐδεῖτο ὁ Θεογένης, ἱκετεύων καὶ ἀντιβολῶν.

Answer 15

When arguments had taken place

and the Council of the Areopagos was angry

and punishing Theogenes on the grounds that he had taken such a wife and allowed her to perform the secret rites on behalf of the city,

Theogenes began to beg them, imploring and entreating.

Question 16

ἔλεγεν γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ εἰδείη Νεαίρας αὐτὴν οὖσαν θυγατέρα,

ἀλλ᾽ ἐξαπατηθείη ὑπὸ Στεφάνου,

καὶ αὐτὸς λάβοι Φανὼ ὡς θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ οὖσαν γνησίαν κατὰ τὸν νόμον·

Answer 16

For he said that he did not know she was the daughter of Neaira,

but he had been deceived by Stephanos,

and had himself accepted Phano as being his (Stephanos’) legitimate daughter in accordance with the law.

Question 17

[ἔλεγεν …] διὰ δὲ τὸ ἄπειρος εἶναι τῶν πραγμάτων, καὶ τὴν ἀκακίαν τὴν αὑτοῦ,

ποιήσασθαι πάρεδρον τὸν Στέφανον, ὡς διοικήσοντα τὴν ἀρχήν·

Answer 17

But [he said that] on account of his inexperience in affairs and his naivety,

he had made Stephanos his assistant so that he could administer the office.

Question 18

[ἔλεγεν ..] εὔνουν γὰρ φαίνεσθαι εἶναι τὸν Στέφανον·

Answer 18

[He said that] Stephanos appeared to be well disposed towards him;

Question 19

διὰ δὲ τοῦτο, [ἔλεγεν γὰρ..] κηδεῦσαι αὐτῷ πρὶν μαθεῖν σαφῶς ὁποῖος εἴη.

Answer 19

because of this [he said that] he had allied himself to him by marriage before he found out clearly what sort of person he was.

Question 20

‘ὅτι δέ᾽, ἔφη, ‘οὐ ψεύδομαι, μεγάλῳ τεκμηρίῳ ἐπιδείξω ὑμῖν.

Answer 20

‘That I am not lying’ he said ‘I shall demonstrate to you by a great proof.

Question 21

Answer 21

I shall send the woman away from my house, since she is not the daughter of Stephanos but of Neaira.’

Question 22

ὑποσχομένου δὲ ταῦτα ποιήσειν Θεογένους καὶ δεομένου,

ἡ ἐν Ἀρείῳ⁀πάγῳ βουλή, ἅμα μὲν ἐλεήσασα αὐτὸν διὰ τὸ ἄκακον εἶναι,

ἅμα δὲ ἡγουμένη ὑπὸ τοῦ Στεφάνου ἀληθῶς ἐξαπατηθῆναι, ἐπέσχεν.

Answer 22

Since Theogenes promised that he would do this and was entreating,

the Council of the Areopagos, at once pitying him for his innocence

and at the same time thinking that he had truly been deceived by Stephanos, held back.

Question 23

ὡς δὲ κατέβη ἐξ Ἀρείου⁀πάγου ὁ Θεογένης,

εὐθὺς τήν τε ἄνθρωπον, τὴν τῆς Νεαίρας θυγατέρα,
ἐκβάλλει ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας,

τόν τε Στέφανον, τὸν ἐξαπατήσαντα αὐτόν, ἀπελαύνει ἀπὸ τοῦ συνεδρίου.

Answer 23

When Theogenes came down from the Areopagos,

he immediately banished the woman, the daughter of Neaira, from his house,

and removed Stephanos, who had deceived him, from the council board.

Question 24

καὶ ἐκπεσούσης τῆς Φανοῦς,

ἐπαύσαντο οἱ Ἀρεοπαγῖται κρίνοντες τὸν Θεογένη καὶ ὀργιζόμενοι αὐτῷ,

καὶ συγγνώμην εἶχον ἐξαπατηθέντι.

Answer 24

When Phano had been sent away,

the Areopagites ceased judging Theogenes and being angry with him,

and pardoned him because he had been deceived.
