Question 1

βουλομαι οὖν ἕνα ἕκαστον ὑμων εἰδεναι ὅτι τιθεσαι την ψῆφον ὁ μεν ὑπερ γυναικος, ὁ δε ὑπερ θυγατρος, ὁ δε ὑπερ μητρος, ὁ δε ὑπερ της πολεως και τῶν νομων και των ἱερων.

Answer 1

I want each one of you to know that you are casting your vote, one of you on behalf of his wife, another on behalf of his daughter, another of his mother, another of his city and its laws and its religion.

Question 2

μη οὖν τιμᾶτε αὐτας ὁμοιως Νεαιρᾳ τῇ πορνῃ.

Answer 2

Do not show respect for these women in the same way as for Neaira the prostitute.

Question 3

τρεφετε γαρ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασται, τρεφετε αὐτας μετα πολλης και καλης σωφροσυνης και ἐπιμελειαας, και ἐκδιδοτε κατα τους νομους.

Answer 3

Look after them, gentlemen of the jury, look after them with much good sense and care/concern, and give them in marriage in accordance with the laws.

Question 4

Νεαιρα δε, μετα πολλων και ἀσελγων τροπων, πολλοις πολλακις ἑκαστης ἡμερας συγγεγενηται.

Answer 4

But Neaira with her many disgraceful ways has had intercourse with many men many times each day.

Question 5

και ὅταν μεν ἐπι τοῦ κατηγορειν γενησθε, τῶν νομων αὐτων ἀκουετε, δι᾽ ὧν οἰκοῦμεν την πολιν, και καθ᾽ οὓς ὀμωμοκατε δικασειν.

Answer 5

And when you are concerned with prosecution, listen to the laws themselves, the laws through which we live in the city, and by which you have sworn to give judgement.

Question 6

ὅταν δε ἐπι του ἀπολογεισθαι ἦτε, μνημονευτε την των νομων κατηγοριαν και τον των εἰρημενων ἔλεγχον ὃν ἀκηκοατε.

Answer 6

And when you are concerned with the defence, remember the condemnation of the laws and the proof of the things which have been said which you have heard.

Question 7

και ὅταν εἰς την Νεαιρας ὅψιν ἀποβλεπητε, ἐνθυμεισθε τουτο μονον, εἰ Νεαιρα οὖσα ταύτα διαπεπρακται.

Answer 7

And when you look upon the face of Neaira, think only of this one thing, whether, being Neaira, she has done these things.
