Transcription: The Greek poet Philemon of Syracuse praised Solon for legalizing and regulating prostitution. Oh Solon, you are a benefactor of the nation. To this house you brought thoughts of health and peace for your people. In our cities where wild youth would give vent to the most impetuous instincts, such rule was necessary. By setting up certain houses where women award their favors to those that pay, prevented inescapable disorder.
