Now that
Stephanus had become surety for her, and seeing that she was living at his
house, she continued to carry on the same trade no less than before, but she
charged higher fees from those who sought her favors as being now a respectable
woman living with her husband. Stephanus, on his part, joined with her in
extorting blackmail. If he found as a lover of Neaera any young alien rich and
without experience, he would lock him up as caught in adultery with her, and
would extort a large sum of money from him.
