CHARON

Come, now, pay us your fares, all of you, the first thing you do. (To Micyllus) You there, pay yours too; I have it from everybody now. I say, Micyllus, pay your obol too.

MICYLLUS

Youre joking, Charon, or if not, you might as well write in water as look for an obol from Micyllus. I havent the slightest idea whether an obol is round or square.

CHARON

What a fine, profitable cruise this has been to-day!

v.2.p.43
Ashore with you, all the same. I am going after horses and cattle and dogs and the rest of the animals, for they have to cross now.

CLOTHO

Take them in charge, Hermes, and lead them off. I myself will go back to the other side to bring over the Chinamen Indopates and Heramithras, for they have just died fighting with one another over boundaries.

HERMES

Lets move on, good peopleor better, all follow me in order.
