“WitnessesNausiphilus of Cephalê and Aristomachus of
Cephalê depose that they became sureties for Epaenetus of Andros,
when Stephanus asserted that he had caught Epaenetus in adultery; and that
when Epaenetus had got away from the house of Stephanus and had become his
own master, he preferred before the Thesmothetae an indictment against
Stephanus for illegal imprisonment; that they were themselves appointed as
arbitrators, and brought about a reconciliation between Epaenetus and
Stephanus, and that the terms of the reconciliation were those which
Apollodorus produces.”“Terms of ReconciliationThe arbitrators brought about a
reconciliation between Stephanus and Epaenetus on the following terms: they
shall bear no malice for what took place regarding the imprisonment;
Epaenetus shall give to Phano one thousand drachmae toward her marriage
portion, inasmuch as he has frequently enjoyed her favors; and Stephanus
shall put Phano at the disposal of Epaenetus whenever he comes to Athens and
wishes to enjoy her”.
