Note
(a) Of this we have an example in certain Law of Zaleucus
the Locrian Legislator pretended to have been preserved (says my
authority) by Diodorus Siculus. "Let not a free woman go forth
from the City in the night, unless when she goes to prostitute
herself to her gallant. Let her not wear rich ornaments or
garments interwoven with gold unless she be a Courtezan."
Princ: of Pen. Law. c. 26.
This was as much as to say that if he knew of a
woman's going abroad in a lone place at the unseasonable
Hours he is speaking of, he, the Legislator, should take it for
granted that such was the errand she went out upon. If she
dressed in a manner in which it was particularly the business
of Courtezans to dreſs he should take for granted her being of that stamp.
