I’ faith, you really have depicted her form exactly in your words. MILPHIOShould you like to see her?HANNOI’d rather see my daughters. Still, go and call her out of doors. If they are my daughters, if she is their nurse, she’ll recognize me at once.MILPHIO(knocking at the door of the PROCURER’S house .)Hallo there! is there any one here? Tell Giddeneme to come out of doors; there’s a person wants to see her.

(Enter GIDDENEME and a BOY, from the house.)GIDDENEMEWho is it that knocks?MILPHIOOne that’s a near acquaintance of yours.GIDDENEMEWhat do you want?MILPHIOCome now (pointing to HANNO.) do you know that person in the tunic, who it is?GIDDENEMEWhy, whom do I behold? O supreme Jupiter! this sure is my master, the father of my foster-children, Hanno, the Carthaginian!MILPHIONow, do see the cunning hussey this Carthaginian is really a clever juggler; he has brought all over to his own opinion.GIDDENEME(running up to HANNO.)O my master! welcome to you, Hanno! most unhoped for by myself and your daughters, welcome to you! But look you, don’t be wondering, or gazing so intently upon me. Don’t you know Giddeneme, your female slave?HANNOI know her. But where are my daughters? That I’m longing to know.GIDDENEMEAt the Temple of VenusTemple of Venus: Venus was the tutelar Divinity of Calydon..HANNOWhat are they doing there? Tell me.GIDDENEMETo-day is the Aphrodisia, the festive day of Venus! they have gone there to entreat the Goddess to be propitious to them.MILPHIOI’ faith, they’ve fully prevailed, I’m sure, inasmuch as he has arrived here.AGORASTOCLES(aside to GIDDENEME.)How now, are these his daughters?GIDDENEMEJust as you say. (To HANNO.) Your kindness has clearly come to our rescue, in your having arrived here to-day at the very time; for this day their names were to have been changedNames were to have been changed: The professae, or courtesans, at Rome, were registered by the Aediles, and usually adopted some other than their family name for the purposes of their calling., and they were to have made a livelihood, disgraceful to their station, by their persons.A BOYHaudones illiHaudones illi: Shall I not bid him welcome?. GIDDENEMEHavon bene si illi, in mustine. Me ipsi et eneste dum et alamna cestinumAlamna cestinum: Child, remember that they are at the Festival of Venus. The time is not proper as yet.
