Question 14

…. which does not allow an alien woman to live with a male citizen nor a female citizen to live with an alien man, nor to have children.

Answer 14

… ὃς οὐκ ἐᾷ τὴν ξένην τῷ ἀστῷ συνοικεῖν, οὐδὲ τὴν ἀστὴν τῷ ξένῳ, οὐδὲ παιδοποιεῖσθαι.

Question 15

So, that Neaira is not only an alien but also a slave and a prostitute, I want to prove to you in detail from the beginning.

Answer 15

ὅτι οὖν ἐστιν οὐ μόνον ξένη Νέαιρα ἀλλὰ καὶ δούλη καὶ ἑταίρα τοῦθ’ ὑμῖν βούλομαι ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἀκριβῶς ἐπιδεῖξαι.

Question 19

For Nikarete had another slave called Metaneira, whose lover, the sophist Lysias, paid many drachmas for her.

Answer 19

ἧν γὰρ δὴ ἑτέρα δούλη Νικαρέτης, Μετανέαιρα ὀνόματι, ἧς ἐραστὴς ὢν Λυσίας ὁ σοφιστὴς πολλὰς δραχμὰς ἔθηκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς.

Question 20

But since all the money which he had paid for her had been taken by Nikarete, …

Answer 20

ἀλλ’ ἐπειδὴ ὑπὸ Νικαρέτης ἐλήφθησαν πᾶσαι αἱ δραχμαὶ ἃς ἔθηκεν, …

Question 21

… he decided to make her an initiate and to spend a lot of money on the feast and on the ceremonies, …

Question 22

… wanting to spend money on Metaneira and not on Nikarete.

Answer 22

… βουλομένῳ ὑπὲρ Μετανείρας καὶ οὐχ ὑπὲρ Νικαρέτης τιθέναι τὰ χρήματα.

Question 23

And Nikarete was persuaded to go to the mysteries taking Metaneira.

Answer 23

καὶ ἐπείσθη Νικαρέτη ἐλθεῖν εἰς τὰ μυστήρια, ἄγουσα τὴν Μετάνειραν.

Question 24

And when they arrived, Lysias did not take them to his own house …

Answer 24

ἀφικομένας δὲ αὐτὰς ὁ Λυσίας εἰς μὲν τὴν αὑτοῦ οἰκίαν οὐκ εἰσάγει …

Question 25

(for he felt shame before the wife whom he had and his mother, who was an old woman and lived in the house).

Answer 25

(ᾐσχύνετο γὰρ τὴν γυναῖκα ἣν εἶχε καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ, ἣ γραῦς οὖσα ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ συνῴκει).

Question 26

Lysias established them in the house of Philostratos, who was still a bachelor and was a friend of his.

Answer 26

καθίστησι δ’ αὐτὰς ὁ Λυσίας ὡς Φιλόστρατον, ᾔθεον ἔτι ὄντα καὶ φίλον αὐτῷ.

Question 27

Neaira came with them to Athens, being herself also the slave of Nikarete and already working with her body, but being somewhat younger.

Answer 27

μεθ’ ὧν συνῆλθεν Ἀθήναζε Νέαιρα, δούλη Νικαρέτης οὖσα καὶ αὐτή, ἐργαζομένη μὲν ἤδη τῷ σώματι, νεωτέρα δὲ οὖσα.

Question 28

That I’m telling the truth and that Neaira was the property of Nikarete and came with her, (of these things) I call Philostratos himself as witness.

Answer 28

ὡς οὖν ἀληθῆ λέγω, ὅτι Νέαιρα Νικαρέτης ἦν καὶ συνῆλθε μετ’ αὐτῆς, τούτων ῦμῖν αὐτὸν Φιλόστρατον μάρτυρα καλῶ.
