Yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually come and attack me — because she keeps bothering me (dia ge to parechein moi kopon tēn chēran tautēn, because this widow provides me trouble): the persistence finally exceeds the judge's will to refuse. So that she won't eventually come and attack me (hypōpiazō, beat in the face, wear out): the judge grants justice to stop the persistence rather than because justice is right.
