I’ll give them.
(Exit with PLANESIUM.)
LYCO
Procurer, do you wish for anything?
CAPPADOX
Give me those ten minae for me to manage for myself with, until things are better with me.
LYCO
They shall be paid; order them to be fetched to-morrow.
(Exit.)
CAPPADOX
Since I’ve successfully finished the matter, I wish to return thanks here in the Temple. For long since, when a little girl, I bought her for ten minae; but him who sold her to me, never since then have I set eyes upon.
I think he’s dead. What matters that to me? I’ve got the money. The man to whom the Gods are propitious, for him, no doubt, they throw gain in his way. Now will I give my attention to my devotions; it’s clear that he has a kind regard for me.
(Goes into the Temple.)
533
(Enter THERAPONTIGONUS. [*] and LYCO.)
THERAPONTIGONUS
I’m come now, inflamed with wrath in no moderate degree, but with that same with which I’ve learned to deal destruction upon cities.
At once now, unless this moment you make haste instantly to pay me the thirty minae which I left with you, make haste to lay down your life.
LYCO
By my troth, to no little mischief do I now devote you, but to that same to which I am wont to devote that man to whom I owe nothing at all.
THERAPONTIGONUS
Don’t you be making yourself bold with me, or suppose that I shall be entreating you.
LYCO
And you, indeed, shall never force me to pay you what has been paid, nor shall I give it you.
THERAPONTIGONUS
I thought this, when I entrusted you with it, that you would repay nothing at all.
LYCO
Why then are you now asking it back of me?
THERAPONTIGONUS
I wish to know to whom you have paid it.
LYCO
To your one-eyed freed-man; he said that he was called Summanus; I paid it to him, who brought me this sealed letter.
(Gives him the letter.)
THERAPONTIGONUS
What letter of mine, what one-eyed freed-man, what people called Summanus are you dreaming about? I really have no freed-man at all.
LYCO
You act more wisely than a portion of the military men who have freed-men, and then forsake them.
THERAPONTIGONUS
What have you done?
