[51] ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐμοῦ ἀπετόλμησεν αἰσχῦναι τὸ σῶμα. ταῖς γὰρ ὁμοδούλοις οὐκ ἐξήρκεσεν αὐτῷ χρῆσθαι
μόναις ἀσελγεστάτῳ καὶ λαγνιστάτῳ γενομένῳ, πειρᾶν δὲ καὶ τὴν δέσποιναν ἐπεχείρησεν ἐμὲ καὶ βιάζεσθαι. καὶ τὰ δείγματα τῆς φρενοβλαβείας ἐναργῆ καὶ δῆλά ἐστι· περιπαθήσασα γὰρ ὡς ἐξεφώνησα τοὺς ἔνδον βοηθοὺς ἐπικαλοῦσα, πτοηθεὶς διὰ τὸ ἀπερίσκεπτον τὴν ἐσθῆτα καταλιπὼν ἀποδιδράσκει φόβῳ συλλήψεως.“ ἣν καὶ ἐπιδεικνυμένη πίστιν
ἐδόκει προσφέρειν τῶν λεγομένων.

[51] For he was not contented with seducing only his fellow servants, inasmuch as he has become a most lascivious and debauched man, but he has attempted to defile even me, his mistress, and to use force to me; and the proofs of his insane lust are visible and clear; for when, having been very ill-treated by him, I cried out, calling to my aid assistants from within; he fled, from fear of being apprehended."
