[20]
Who it
was who purchased them severally, and how they were set free by those who bought
them from Nicaretê, I will tell you in the course of my speech, if you
care to hear and if the water in the water-clock holds out. I wish for the
moment to return to the defendant Neaera, and prove to you that she belonged to
Nicaretê, and that she lived as a prostitute letting out her person
for hire to those who wished to enjoy her.
