On the other side of this square (the Augustaion) is a bath with doors on either side opposite of each other, and any woman accused of adultery was ordered by the judges to be brought there, and they made her go in by one door and come out by the other, and if she was innocent her skirts and chemise rained themselves on high without her perceiving it, so that from the middle downward everything could be seen. This also it may be no sin to doubt.
Comment by Crow 2008: Van der Vin (1980), 701 suggests that this might refer to the baths of Zeuxippos.
