[107]
Is
not this a monstrous thing? In the case of those who were neighbors and who had
shown themselves of all the Greeks by common consent to have conferred the
greatest benefits upon your state, you thus carefully and accurately defined
regarding each one the terms on which they should receive the gift of
citizenship; are you then thus shamefully and recklessly to let off unpunished a
woman who has openly played the harlot throughout the whole of Greece, who
treats the city with outrage and the gods with impiety, and who is a citizen
neither by birth nor by the gift of the people?
