Minos

Sostratus, the pirate here, can be dropped into Pyriphlegethon, Hermes; the temple-robber shall be clawed by the Chimera; and lay out the tyrant alongside of Tityus, there to have his liver torn by the vultures. And you honest fellows can make the best of your way to Elysium and the Isles of the Blest; this it is to lead righteous lives.

v.1.p.155
Sostratus

A word with you, Minos. See if there is not some justice in my plea.

Minos

What, more pleadings? Have you not been convicted of villany and murder without end?

Sostratus

I have. Yet consider whether my sentence is just.

Minos

Is it just that you should have your deserts? If so, the sentence is just.

Sostratus

Well, answer my questions; I will not detain you long.

Minos

Say on, but be brief; I have other cases waiting for me.
