According to Noah Webster 1828:

adultery:

(n.) The unfaithfulness of a married person to the marriage bed; sexual intercourse by a married man with another than his wife, or voluntary sexual intercourse by a married woman with another than her husband.

Do not enter into a carnal relationship with a woman who belongs to another, but the commandment extends to any kind of carnal sin such as fornication, concubinage, etc.

In this threads vein - Platonism and Stoicism are important to elucidating early Christian texts.
