[69]
Epaenetus acceded to these terms and withdrew the indictment
which he had preferred against Stephanus, and a meeting took place between them
at which the sureties sat as arbitrators. Stephanus could say nothing in defense
of his action, but he requested Epaenetus to make a contribution toward a dowry
for Neaera's daughter, making mention of his own poverty and the misfortune
which the girl had formerly met with in her relations with Phrastor, and
asserting that he had lost her marriage portion and could not provide another
for her.
