Theomnestus and Apollodorus Against Neaera
One of two lovers who purchased Neaera outright from Nicaretê for thirty minae to be their slave, and later offered to free her before their own marriages.
Philagrus of Melitê deposes that he was present in Corinth when Phrynion, the brother of Demochares, paid down twenty minae as the price of Neaera, the present defendant, to Timanoridas, the Corinthian, and Eucrates, the Leucadian;
When Phrynion came to her, she told him the proposal which Eucrates and Timanoridas had made to her, and gave him the money which she had collected from her other lovers as a contribution toward the price of her freedom, and added whatever she had gained for herself, and she begged him to advance the balance needed to make up the twenty minae, and to pay it to Eucrates and Timanoridas to secure her freedom.
After this, then, she had two lovers, Timanoridas the Corinthian and Eucrates the Leucadian.
