[129] καὶ ὁ μὲν μοιχὸς ἐφυβρίσας καὶ ἐναπερυγὼν τὸ πάθος,
ἐπίληπτον σπορὰν σπείρας, ὅταν ἀποπλησθῇ τῆς ἐπιθυμίας, οἰχήσεται καταλιπών, γέλωτα θέμενος τὴν τοῦ παρανομηθέντος ἄγνοιαν· ὁ δ’ οἷα τυφλὸς μηδὲν τῶν ὑποικουρημένων ἐπιστάμενος ὡς οἰκειότατα ἔκγονα τὰ ἐκ τῶν πολεμιωτάτων θεραπεύειν ἀναγκασθήσεται.

[129] And then the adulterer, behaving with insolence and pluming himself upon his iniquity in having propagated an offspring full of reproach, when he has satiated his appetites will depart, leaving the object behind him, and turning into ridicule the ignorance that exists of the unholy wickedness which he has committed, on the part of the man against whom he has sinned.

And the husband, like a blind man, knowing nothing of what has been going on in his own house, will be compelled to nourish and to cherish as his own the offspring sprung from his greatest enemies.
