Charon

My friend, where are you going? The skiff is full already. Wait here till to-morrow. We will ferry you over early in the morning.

Mikyllos

It is a crime, Charon, for you to leave a dead man behind who is stale already. I will indict you before Rhadamanthos for illegal practices. Alas, alack! they are off already, and I shall be left here alone. But why not swim after them? I am not afraid of giving out and drowning, because I am dead already. Moreover, I have not even got the obol to pay the ferryman.

Klotho

What are you doing? Stay where you are, Mikyllos. It is not permitted to cross in that fashion.

Mikyllos

And yet I may possibly get into port before you do.

p.135
Klotho

Heaven forbid. Come up with him and catch him. You, Hermes, help pull him in.
