If, indeed, you are in search of the adopted son of Antidamas, I am the very person whom you are in search of.
HANNO
(starting.)
Hah! what’s that I hear?
AGORASTOCLES
That I am the son of Antidamas.
HANNO
If so it is, if you would like to compare the token of hospitality[*], see here, I’ve brought it.
(Shows him the ticket.)
AGORASTOCLES
Come then, show it here. (He takes it in his hand, and looks at it.) It is exactly true; for I’ve got the counterpart at home.
HANNO
O my host, hail to you right earnestly; for it was your father, then, Antidamas, that was my own and my father’s guest; this was my token of hospitality with him.
AGORASTOCLES
Then here at my house shall hospitality be shown you; for I don’t reject either Hospitality or Carthage,
from which I sprang.
HANNO
May the Gods grant you all you may desire. How say you? How could it happen that you were born at Carthage, but had a father of Aetolia here?
AGORASTOCLES
I was stolen away from there; this Antidamas, your guest, bought me, and adopted me as his son.
HANNO
He himself, likewise, was adopted by Demarchus, But about him I say no more, and return to you. Tell me, do you at all remember the names of your parents?
AGORASTOCLES
I remember my father and my mother’s name.
HANNO
Repeat them, then, to me, to see if I know them, perchance, or if they are relatives of mine.
AGORASTOCLES
Ampsigura was my mother, and Iachon my father.
HANNO
I could wish that your father and mother were alive.
AGORASTOCLES
Are they dead?
HANNO
So it is, a thing which I bore with much grief; for your mother Ampsigura was my cousin-german; your father—he was my uncle’s son,
and when he died he made me his heir; of whom being deprived by death, I am greatly affected. But if it is the fact that you really are the son of Sachon, there ought to be a mark upon your left hand, a bite which an ape gave you when a child, playing with it.
Show it, that I may look at it;
open your hand.
AGORASTOCLES
(opening his hand.)
Look, if you like; see, there it is.
My kinsman, welcome to you!
HANNO
And welcome to you, Agorastocles! I seem to myself to be born again, in having found you.
MILPHIO
By my troth, I’m delighted that this matter has fallen out so happily for you. (To HANNO.) And would you decline to take advice?
HANNO
Really, I should wish to be advised.
MILPHIO
His father’s property ought to be restored to the son; it’s fair that he should have the property which his father possessed.
HANNO
I wish no otherwise; everything shall be restored. I’ll give his own property to him all safe, when he comes there.
MILPHIO
Take care and restore it, will you, even though he should live here still.
HANNO
Nay but, he shall have my own as well, if anything should happen to me[*].
MILPHIO
A pleasant project has just now come into my mind,
