The injuries, then, which I have suffered
at the hands of Stephanus, and which led me to prefer this indictment, I have
told you. I must now prove to you that this woman Neaera is an alien, that she
is living with this man Stephanus as his wife, and that she has violated the
laws of the state in many ways. I make of you, therefore, men of the jury, a
request which seems to me a proper one for a young man and one without
experience in speaking—that you will permit me to call Apollodorus as
advocate to assist me in this trial.
