as to that which I shall know; if I shall not know anything, that which I don’t know I’ll tell you of.
TYNDARUS(aside.)
Now is the old fellow in the barber’s shop; now, at this very instant, is Philocrates wielding the razor[*]. He hasn’t cared, indeed, to put on the barber’s cloth[*], so as not to soil his dress. But whether to say that he’s going to shave him close, or trim him[*] through the comb[*], I don’t know; but if he’s wise, he’ll scrape him right well to the very quick.
HEGIO(to PHILOCRATES.)
Which would you? Would you prefer to be a slave, or a free man?—Tell me.
PHILOCRATES
That which is the nearest to good, and the furthest off from evil, do I prefer; although my servitude hasn’t proved very grievous to me, nor has it been otherwise to me than if I had been a son in the family.
TYNDARUS(aside.)
Capital! I wouldn’t purchase, at a talent’s price even, Thales the Milesian[*];
for compared with this man’s wisdom, he was a very twaddler. How cleverly has he suited his language to the slave’s condition.
