When they got here, Lysias did not bring them to his own
house, out of regard for his wife, the daughter of Brachyllus and his own niece,
and for his own mother, who was elderly and who lived in the same house; but he

Colonus,1 who was a friend of his and was as yet unmarried.
They were accompanied by this woman Neaera, who had already taken up the trade
of a prostitute, young as she was; for she was not yet old enough.
