SIMYLUS

So, youve come to join us at last, Polystratus, after living to be, I think, almost a hundred?

POLYSTRATUS

Ninety-eight, Simylus.

SIMYLUS

Whatever sort of life did you have for these thirty years after my death? I died when you were about seventy.

POLYSTRATUS

An exceedingly pleasant life, even if you will think it strange.

SIMYLUS

Strange indeed, if you were not only old and weak but also childless, and yet could enjoy life.
