[That a Woman Must Not Bathe with Men.]
IX. Avoid also that disorderly practice of bathing in the same place with men; for many are the nets of the evil one. And let not a Christian woman bathe with an hermaphrodite; for if she is to veil her face, and conceal it with modesty from strange men, how can she bear to enter naked into the bath together with men? But if the bath be appropriated to women, let her bathe orderly, modestly, and moderately. But let her not bathe without occasion, nor much, nor often, nor in the middle of the day, nor, if possible, every day; and let the tenth hour of the day be the set time for such seasonable bathing. For it is convenient that thou, who art a Christian woman, shouldst ever constantly avoid a curiosity which has many eyes.
[9] Περιίστασο καὶ τὴν ἐν βαλανείῳ μετὰ ἀνδρῶν ἄτακτον γινομένην λοῦσιν: πολλὰ γὰρ τὰ δίκτυα τοῦ πονηροῦ. Ἀνδρόγυνον γυνὴ πιστὴ μὴ λουέσθω: εἰ γὰρ περικαλύπτεται τὸ πρόσωπον τὴν ἀπ' ἀλλοτρίων ἀνδρῶν ὄψιν μετὰ αἰδοῦς κρύπτουσα, πῶς γυμνὴ μετὰ ἀνδρῶν ἡ τοιαύτη εἰς λουτρὸν εἰσελεύσεται; Γυναικείου δὲ ὄντος βαλανείου, εὐτάκτως μετὰ αἰδοῦς μεμετρημένως λουέσθω. Μὴ περισσοτέραν δὲ λοῦσιν ποιείσθω, μηδὲ πολλὴν μηδὲ πολλάκις μηδὲ ἐν μέσῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ἀλλ' εἰ δυνατὸν μηδὲ καθ' ἡμέραν. Ὥρα δέ σοι ἔστω τακτὴ ἡ τῆς καιρολουσίας δεκάτη: δεῖ γάρ σε πιστὴν οὖσαν ἐκ παντὸς καὶ πάντοτε τὴν πολυόφθαλμον περιεργίαν φεύγειν.
