Take care and remember to carry your son’s ring.
NICOBULUS
What need is there of the ring?
CHRYSALUS
Because that is the token agreed on with Theotimus, that the person who brings it to him,
to him he is to give up the gold.
NICOBULUS
I’ll remember it, and you advise me well. But is this Theotimus rich?
CHRYSALUS
What, do you ask that? Why, hasn’t he the soles fastened to his shoes with gold?
NICOBULUS
Why does he thus despise it?
CHRYSALUS
He has such immense riches; he doesn’t know what to do with his gold.
NICOBULUS
I wish he’d give it me.
But in whose presence was this gold delivered to Theotimus?
CHRYSALUS
In presence of the people; there’s not a person in Ephesus but what knows it.
NICOBULUS
My son at least did wisely there, in entrusting that gold to a rich man to keep. From him it may be recovered even at a moment’s notice.
