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.

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.

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

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