[152] ἀφ’ οὗ γὰρ ἐνεκολπίσασθε τὰ προπαιδεύματα, τῆς ἐμῆς θεραπαινίδος τὰ ἔγγονα,
τὴν μὲν ὡς γαμετὴν ἐξετιμήσατε, ἐμὲ δὲ οὕτως ἀπεστράφητε, ὡς ¹² μηδὲ πώποτε ἐς ταὐτὸν ἐλθόντες. ἀλλ’ ἴσως ἐγὼ μὲν ταῦτα περὶ ὑμῶν ὑπείληφα, ἐκ τῆς φανερᾶς πρὸς τὴν οἰκέτιν ὁμιλίας τὴν ἄδηλον πρὸς ἐμὲ αὐτὴν ἀλλοτρίωσιν τεκμαιρομένη· εἰ δ’ ὑμεῖς ἐναντίως ἢ ὡς ὑπείληφα διάκεισθε, γνῶναι μὲν ἀμήχανον ἑτέρῳ, ῥᾴδιον δὲ μόνῳ θεῷ.

[152] for from the time that you first took to your bosom the elementary branches of education, you have honoured above measure the offspring of my handmaiden, and have respected her as your wife, and you have so completely repudiated me that you never by any chance came to the same place with me. And perhaps this may be only a suspicion of mine respecting you, arising from your open connection with my servant, which leads me to conjecture your alienation from myself, though it is not really manifest. But if your disposition is contrary to that which I suspect, still it is impossible for any one else to know this, but it is easy to God alone."
