You kill me outright; much more safely would it have been kept in private hands.

But haven’t you brought any of the gold home here?

CHRYSALUS

O yes; but how much he has brought, I don’t know.

NICOBULUS

How’s that?—not know?

CHRYSALUS

Because Mnesilochus went privately by night to Theotimus; and didn’t wish to entrust it to me, nor to any one in the ship. For that reason I don’t know

how much he has brought, but he hasn’t brought very much.

NICOBULUS

Do you think it was even a half?

CHRYSALUS

By my troth, I know not; but I don’t think it.

NICOBULUS

Does he bring a third part?

CHRYSALUS

Troth, I think not; but I do not know the truth. Indeed, I know nothing at all about the gold, except that I do know nothing about it.

Now, you yourself must take a voyage there on board ship, to carry home this gold from Theotimus; and, hearkye—

(Takes him by the arm.)

NICOBULUS

What do you want?
