(To SIMO.) But you, worthy fellow, are many a time being hunted after in the Forum with noise enough, when you haven’t a groat in the world, unless this procurer here comes to help you a bit.
HARPAX
But why don’t you address yourself to me?
BALLIO
I do address you. What is it you want?
HARPAX
You to take this money.
(He holds out the five minae.)
BALLIO
(holding out his hand.)
Already have I extended my hand, if you are going to give it.
HARPAX
Take it; here are five picked minae of silver counted out.
(Gives him the money.) This did my master, Polymachaeroplagides. order me to deliver to you, the sum which he was owing, and that you were to send Phœnicium with me.
BALLIO
Your master?
HARPAX
I say to that effect.
BALLIO
The Captain?
HARPAX
I speak to that effect.
BALLIO
The Macedonian?
HARPAX
Such is the fact, I say.
BALLIO
Polymachaeroplagides sent you to me?
HARPAX
You say what’s fact.
BALLIO
To give me this money?
HARPAX
If you really are
the procurer Ballio.
BALLIO
And for you to take away the woman from me?
HARPAX
Even so.
BALLIO
Did he say that it was Phœnicium?
HARPAX
You remember it exactly.
BALLIO
Wait there; I’ll return to you this instant.
HARPAX
Make haste, then, with all speed, for I’m in a hurry. ’Tis now late in the day, d’ye see?
BALLIO
I see; still I wish to call this person aside. Do you only wait there; I’ll return to you this instant. (He takes SIMO on one side.) What’s to be done now, Simo?
What are we to do? I’ve detected this fellow that has brought the money in the fact.
SIMO
How so?
BALLIO
And don’t you understand what this plan is?
SIMO
About as much as the most ignorant do.
BALLIO
Your servant, Pseudolus, has sent this fellow on the message, as though he was from the Macedonian Captain.
