Charon

Come, pay me the ferry-charge first! -Give me yours, too. Now they have all paid. -Pay me your obol, too, Mikyllos.

Mikyllos

You are joking, Charon, or else your accounts are writ in water, as they say, if you expect any obol from Mikyllos. I absolutely do not know whether an obol is four-sided or round.

Charon

This is a fine, profitable voyage to-day!

p.137
However, take yourselves ashore. I am going after the horses and cows and dogs and other animals, for they, too, must needs cross now.

Klotho

Take them and conduct them, Hermes. I myself must sail to the other shore, to bring over Indopatris and Eraminthe, the Seres. They are already dead just now from fighting with each other about the boundaries of their territories.

Hermes

Let us proceed, friends, or, rather, all follow me in order.
