Λυκῖνος

τούτων δὴ λεγομένων παρὰ πάντων μὲν γέλως ἐγίγνετο, ὡς τὸ εἰκός. Βαγώας δὲ μᾶλλον ἐταράττετο καὶ παντοῖος ἦν, ἐς μυρία τρεπόμενος¹ χρώματα καὶ ψυχρῷ τῷ ἱδρῶτι ῥεόμενος, καὶ οὔτε συγκατατίθεσθαι τῷ περὶ² τῆς μοιχείας ἐγκλήματι καλῶς ἔχειν ᾤετο οὔτε ἀχρεῖον αὑτῷ τὴν κατηγορίαν ταύτην ἐς τὸν παρόντα ἀγῶνα ἡγεῖτο εἶναι.

On the one hand, he did not think it seemly to plead guilty to the charge of adultery; yet, on the other, he thought that this accusation would not be without its usefulness for the case then in progress.

PAMPHILUS

This is truly laughable, Lycinus, and must have given you uncommon diversion. But what was the outcome, and how did the judges decide about them?
