My disposition takes its course straight in either direction, both to yourself and to him; as a wheel[*] you may make use of me;

either this way or that can I be turned, whichever way you shall command me.

HEGIO

You yourself profit the most from your own disposition, when you endure slavery just as it ought to be endured. Follow me. (To TYNDARUS.) See here’s your man.

TYNDARUS

I return you thanks, since you give me this opportunity and permission

to send this messenger to my parents, who may relate all the matter in its order to my father, what I’m doing here, and what I wish to be done. (To PHILOCRATES.) Now, Tyndarus, thus is it arranged between myself and him, that I’m to send you, valued at a fixed price, to my father in Elis;

so that, if you don’t return hither, I’m to give twenty minae for you.
