What has he done?
CHRYSALUS
What has he not done? Why don’t you ask me that? In the first place, then, he began to make denials to your son,
and to assert that he didn’t owe three obols[*] to you. Forthwith, Mnesilochus summoned to himself there our ancient host, the old gentleman, Pelago; in his presence, he at once showed the fellow the token[*], which you yourself had given to your son to deliver to him.
NICOBULUS
Well—when he showed him the token?
CHRYSALUS
He began to say that it was counterfeit, and that it was not a true token; and how many reproaches he did utter against him so undeserving of them! and he said that in other matters he had committed forgery.
NICOBULUS
Have you not the gold? In the first place, I want that to be told me.
CHRYSALUS
Yes, after the Praetor had appointed delegates[*]; being cast, at length compelled by force he paid down twelve hundred Philippeans.
NICOBULUS
He owed that much.
CHRYSALUS
Besides, listen to another struggle of his, as well, which he was desirous to enter on.
NICOBULUS
What, besides, as well?
Oho! this will turn out now a regular hawk’s nest[*].
I’ve been deceived. I’ve entrusted my gold to an Autolycus[*] for my host!
