Text

ἀνὴρ καὶ γυνὴ τὴν αὐτὴν νόσον ἐνόσουν, δέδωκέ τις ἰατρὸς τοῖς δύο τὸ αὐτὸ φάρμακον, τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τελευτήσαντος τὴν γυναῖκα ἔγημε, καὶ κρίνεται μοιχείας καὶ φόνου.

Translation

A husband and wife suffered from the same disease; a doctor gave them both the same medicine; the man died, and the doctor married the woman: he is accused of adultery and murder.
