TRANSLATION OF SECTION 49
If any woman without a husband were to open her house to the desires of all, openly adopt the lifestyle of a prostitute and arrange to frequent the dinner parties of men who are perfect strangers, if she were to do this in the city, in her gardens and the crowded environment of Baiae, if, in fact, she were to behave not only in her general demeanour but in her adornment and her companions, not only with her blazing glances and the licentiousness of her gossip, but also with her embraces, her kisses, her beach parties, sailing parties and dinner parties, so as to give the appearance of not only a prostitute but a lewd and lascivious prostitute, if any young man should happen to "be" with her, would you consider him an adulterer or a lover, Lucius Herennius? Would you think he intended to storm a fortress of chastity or satisfy the dictates of lust?
