For many reasons, gentlemen of Athens, I wanted to bring this charge against Neaira, which I am now pursuing, and to come before you.
(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 (and I say that because) I was greatly wronged by Stephanos whose wife this Neaira is.
καὶ γὰρ ήδικήθην μεγάλα ὑπὸ Στεφάνου, οὗ γυνή ἐστιν ἡ Νέαιρα αὑτηί.
And having been wronged by him, I was placed in extreme danger, not only myself, but my daughters and my wife.
καὶ ἀδικηθεὶς ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς κινδύνους τοὺς ἐσχάτους κατέστην, καὶ οὑ μόνον ἐγὼ ἀλλὰ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ ἐμή.
