Timolaus

Oh, but that is a sign of noble birth in Egypt, Lycinus. All gentlemens sons wear their hair done up till they reach manhood. It was the other way with our ancestors: the topknot, and the golden grasshopper to keep it together, were the proper thing for old men in their time.

Samippus

Very much to the point, Timolaus; you allude to the remarks in Thucydidess preface, about our old luxurious habits, as preserved in the Asiatic colonies.

Lycinus

Of course!
