Troth, not so, but rather by reason of his avarice and grasping disposition; for, indeed, he was Theodoromedes originally by name.
HEGIO
How say you? Is his father covetous?
PHILOCRATES
Aye, by my faith, he is covetous.
Why, that you may even understand it the better,—when he’s sacrificing at any time to his own Genius[*], the vessels that are needed for the sacrifice he uses of Samian ware, lest the Genius himself should steal them; from this, consider how much he would trust other people.
HEGIO(addressing TYNDARUS as though PHILOCRATES.)
Do you then follow me this way. (Aside.) The things that I desire to know, I’ll enquire of him. (Addressing TYNDARUS.) Philocrates, this person has done as it becomes an honest man to do.
For from him I’ve learnt of what family you are sprung; he has confessed it to me. If you are willing to own these same things (which, however, understand that I already know from him), you will be doing it for your own advantage.
