When he came
back here, bringing her with him, he treated her without decency or restraint,
taking her everywhere with him to dinners where there was drinking and making
her a partner in his revels; and he had intercourse with her openly whenever and
wherever he wished, making his privilege a display to the onlookers. He took her
to many houses to gay parties and among them to that of Chabrias of
Aexonê, when, in the archonship of Socratidas,1 he was
victor at the Pythian games2
with the four-horse chariot which he had bought from the sons of Mitys, the
Argive, and returning from Delphi he gave a feast at Colias,3 to celebrate his victory, and in that place many had
intercourse with her when she was drunk, while Phrynion was asleep, among them
even the serving-men of Chabrias.
