18. δεύτερος δὲ διωρθώθη
νόμος ὁ διδοὺς ἐξουσίαν τῇ γυναικὶ ἀπολύειν τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ
συνοικεῖν ᾧ ἂν βούληται. τῶν γὰρ προβεβηκότων τῇ ἡλικίᾳ τις,
ἔχων γυναῖκα νεωτέραν καὶ καταλειφθείς, συνεβούλευε τοῖς Θουρίοις
διορθῶσαι τὸν νόμον καὶ προσγράψαι τὴν καταλιποῦσαν ἄνδρα συνοικεῖν
ᾧ ἂν βούληται μὴ νεωτέρῳ τοῦ προτέρου: ὁμοίως δὲ κἂν ἀνὴρ
ἐκβάλῃ γυναῖκα, μὴ γαμεῖν ἄλλην νεωτέραν ταύτης τῆς ἐκβληθείσης.
[2]
εὐστοχήσας δ᾽ ἐν τῇ συμβουλίᾳ καὶ
ἀκυρώσας τὸν πρότερον νόμον διέφυγε μὲν τὸν ἐκ τοῦ
βρόχου κίνδυνον: τῆς δὲ γυναικὸς κωλυθείσης νεωτέρῳ συνοικῆσαι, πάλιν
ἔγημε τὸν ἀπολυθέντα.
[3]
τρίτος δὲ νόμος
διωρθώθη ὁ περὶ τῶν ἐπικλήρων, ὁ καὶ παρὰ Σόλωνι κείμενος. ἐκέλευε
γὰρ τῇ ἐπικλήρῳ ἐπιδικάζεσθαι τὸν ἔγγιστα γένους, ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ
τὴν ἐπίκληρον ἐπιδικάζεσθαι τῷ ἀγχιστεῖ, ᾧ ἦν ἀνάγκη συνοικεῖν
ἢ πεντακοσίας ἐκτῖσαι δραχμὰς εἰς προικὸς λόγον τῇ πενιχρᾷ
ἐπικλήρῳ.
[4]
ὀρφανὴ γάρ τις εὐγενὴς
ἐπίκληρος, ἀπορουμένη παντελῶς τῶν κατὰ τὸν βίον καὶ διὰ τὴν πενίαν
οὐ δυναμένη συνοικῆσαι, κατέφυγεν ἐπὶ τὸν δῆμον, καὶ μετὰ δακρύων
ἐκθεμένη τὴν ἑαυτῆς ἐρημίαν τε καὶ καταφρόνησιν, πρὸς δὲ τούτοις
ὑπογραψαμένη τὴν διόρθωσιν τοῦ νόμου, ὥστε ἀντὶ τῆς ἐκτίσεως τῶν
πεντακοσίων δραχμῶν γράψαι συνοικεῖν κατ᾽ ἀνάγκην τὸν ἄγχιστα γένους
τῇ ἐπιδικασθείσῃ ἐπικλήρῳ: τοῦ δὲ δήμου διὰ τὸν ἔλεον
ψηφισαμένου διορθῶσαι τὸν νόμον, ἡ μὲν ὀρφανὴ τὸν ἐκ τοῦ βρόχου
κίνδυνον ἐξέφυγεν, ὁ δ᾽ ἀγχιστεὺς πλούσιος ὢν ἠναγκάσθη γῆμαι
γυναῖκα πενιχρὰν ἐπίκληρον ἄνευ προικός.
