ὁ δὲ θαυμάσας τῆς γυναικὸς ἔτι μᾶλλον τὴν ἀεὶ καινουμένην φιλανδρίαν καὶ νεάζουσαν καὶ τὸ περὶ τοῦ μέλλοντος ἐξεταστικὸν καὶ προμηθὲς ἄγεται τὴν ὑπ’ αὐτῆς δοκιμασθεῖσαν ἄχρι τοῦ παιδοποιήσασθαι, ὡς δ’ οἱ σαφέστατα διηγούμενοί φασιν, ἄχρι τοῦ μόνον ἐγκύμονα γενέσθαι· γενομένης δ’ οὐκ εἰς μακράν, ἀποσχέσθαι διά τε φυσικὴν ἐγκράτειαν καὶ τὴν τιμήν, ἣν ἀπένεμε τῇ γαμετῇ.
