    [14] There was an upper room in our house occupied by Philoneos, a highly respected friend of our father's, during his visits to Athens. Now Philoneos had a mistress a whom he proposed to place in a brothel.1 My brother's mother made friends with her; [15] and on hearing of the wrong intended by Philoneos, she sends for her, informing her on her arrival that she herself was also being wronged by our father. If the other would do as she was told, she said, she herself knew how to restore Philoneos' love for her and our father's for herself. She had discovered the means; the other's task was to carry out her orders. [16] She asked if she was prepared to follow her instructions, and, I imagine, received a ready assent.

    Later, Philoneos happened to have a sacrifice to perform to Zeus Ctesius2 in Peiraeus, while my father was on the point of leaving for Naxos. So Philoneos thought that it would be an excellent idea to make one journey of it by seeing my father as far as Peiraeus, offering the sacrifice, and entertaining his friend.

    1 Clearly as a slave, as Philoneos has complete control over her, and she was later tortured and summarily executed.

    2 Zeus as a god of the household. Hence the sacrifice takes place at Philoneus' private residence.
