[83]
When Theogenes had made
this promise and this plea, the council of the Areopagus, through compassion
also for the guilelessness of his character and in the belief that he had really
been deceived by Stephanus, refrained from action. And Theogenes immediately on
coming down from the Areopagus cast out of his house the woman, the daughter of
this Neaera, and expelled this man Stephanus, who had deceived him, from the
board of magistrates. Thus it was that the members of the Areopagus desisted
from their action against Theogenes and from their anger against him; for they
forgave him, because he had been deceived.
