[45]
I am surprised that you do not of
yourself make this reflection, that Archestratus, to whom your father formerly
belonged, has a son here, Antimachus, who fares not at all as he deserves, and
who does not go to law with you and say that he is outrageously treated, because
you wear a soft mantle, and have redeemed one mistress, and have given another
in marriage （all this, while you have a wife of your own）, and
take three attendant slaves about with you, and live so licentiously that even
those who meet you on the street perceive it, while he himself is in great
destitution.
