My case also is a trifling one and needs but a short investigation. In fact, I have been stripped and waiting for you a long time, so inspect me.

Who are you?

The cobbler Micyllus.

Good, Micyllus, you are quite clean and unmarked. Be off and join Cyniscus there. Call the tyrant now.

Let Megapenthes, son of Lacydes, come this way. Where are you turning to? Come here! It is you I am calling, tyrant. Thrust him in among us, Tisiphone, with a push on the neck.

Cyniscus, open your prosecution and state your case now, for here is the man.
