(To CLEOMACHUS.) This is the father of Mnesilochus: follow me; he shall promise it you. Do you ask for the gold. As to the rest, a word’s enough[*].
(They go up to NICOBULUS.)
NICOBULUS
What has been done?
CHRYSALUS
I’ve struck the bargain for two hundred Philippeans.
NICOBULUS
Well done! Goddess Salvation[*],
thou hast saved me. Well, how soon am I to say I’ll pay it?
CHRYSALUS
(to CLEOMACHUS.)
Do you ask it of him; and (to NICOBULUS) do you promise it him.
NICOBULUS
I promise it. (To CLEOMACHUS.) Come, ask me.
CLEOMACHUS
Will you give me two hundred golden Philippean pieces, lawful money?
CHRYSALUS
They shall be given, say: do answer him.
NICOBULUS
I’ll give them.
CHRYSALUS
Well, now, filthy fellow is there anything owing to you?
Why are you plaguing him? Why are you frightening him about death? Both I and he wish you every ill luck. If you have a sword, still we have a spit at home; with which, in fact, if you provoke me,
