[59]
For
when Phrastor at the time of his illness sought to introduce the boy born of the
daughter of Neaera to his clansmen and to the Brytidae, to which gens Phrastor
himself belongs, the members of the gens, knowing, I fancy, who the woman was
whom Phrastor first took to wife, that, namely, she was the daughter of Neaera,
and knowing, too, of his sending the woman away, and that it was because of his
illness that Phrastor had been induced to take back the child, refused to
recognize the child and would not enter him on their register.
