ὑποδεξάμενος αὖθις τὰ πράγματα καὶ στρατηγὸς αἱρεθεὶς ᾐτήσατο λυθῆναι τὸν περὶ τῶν νόθων νόμον ὃν αὐτὸς εἰσενηνόχει πρότερον ὡς μὴ παντάπασιν ἐρημίᾳ διαδοχῆς τὸν οἶκον ἐκλίποι τοὔνομα καὶ τὸ γένος .
When
he
had
undertaken
again
the
conduct
of
the
state
and
been
elected
general
he
asked
for
a
suspension
of
the
law
concerning
children
born
out
of
wedlock
a
law
which
he
himself
had
formerly
introduced
in
order
that
the
name
and
lineage
of
his
house
might
not
altogether
expire
through
lack
of
succession
.
