[178]
Nicostratus is restored to Oppianicus; Sassia goes to Larinum with her friends, grieving,
because she thought that her son would certainly be safe; since not only no true accusation
could be proved against him, but there could not be even any false suspicion made to attach to
him, and since not only the open attacks of his enemies were unable to injure him, but even
the secret plots of his mother against him proved harmless to him. After she came to Larinum,
she, who had pretended to be persuaded that poison had been previously given to her husband by
that man Strato, immediately gave him a shop at
Larinum, properly furnished and provided for carrying on the business of an apothecary.
