HERMOTIMUS

That fellow has always been a senseless rogue when it comes to paying his debts, Lycinus. My master has never yet treated any of the others to whom he lends money like that and there are many of them. But they pay the interest on time.

LYCINUS

And if they don’t, my dear Hermotimus? Does it matter, when he is now already purified by philosophy and no longer needs what he has left behind on Oeta?

HERMOTIMUS

Do you think it is for himself that he has made this fuss? No, he has young children and he is concerned lest they spend their lives in want.

LYCINUS

He ought, Hermotimus, to lead them too up the path to Virtue, so that they can despise wealth and be happy with him.
