Law

He shall have his foot confined in the stocks for five days, if the court shall make such addition to the sentence.
The stocks there mentioned, Theomnestus, are what we now call confinement in the wood. So if a person confined should on his release accuse the Eleven, at their public examination, of having him confined, not in the stocks, but in the wood, they would take him for an idiot, would they not? Read another law.

Law

He shall vow by Apollo and give security. If he dreads the course of justice, let him flee.
Here to vow is to swear, and flee is what we now call run away.
Whosoever debars with his door, when the thief is within,
—Here to debar is taken to be shut out; no dispute, now, on that score!

Money shall be placed out at whatever rate the lender may choose.
Placed out here, my fine fellow, is not a case of placing in the balance, but of drawing interest to such amount as one may choose. Once more, read the final clause of this same law.

All women who ply about overtly,
and
for hurt to a varlet the redress shall be double.
Pay attention: overtly is openly, ply about is walk about, and a varlet is a servant.

We have many other instances of the sort, gentlemen. But if he is not a numskull, I suppose he has realized that things are the same now as they were of old, but that in some cases we do not use the same terms now as we did formerly. And he will show as much, for he will leave the dais and depart in silence.
