Hark you (to LABRAX), see now; this person (pointing at DAEMONES) has got your wallet.
DAEMONES
I have got it, and I confess that it is in my possession; and if it’s yours, you may have it. Everything, just as each particular was in it, shall in like manner be given safe to you.
(Holding it out.) Take it, if it’s yours.
LABRAX
Immortal Gods, it is mine. (Takes it.) Welcome, dear wallet.
DAEMONES
Is it yours?
LABRAX
Do you ask the question? If indeed, I’ faith, it were in Jove’s possession, still it is my own.
DAEMONES
Everything in it is safe; there has only been one casket taken out of it, with some trinkets, by means of which this day I have found my daughter.
LABRAX
What person?
DAEMONES
Palaestra, who was your property, she has been discovered to be my own daughter.
LABRAX
By my troth, it has happily turned out so; since this matter has happened so fortunately for you according to your wishes, I’m rejoiced.
DAEMONES
In that I don’t readily believe you.
LABRAX
Aye, by my faith, that you may be sure that I’m rejoiced, you shan’t give me three obols for her; I excuse you.
DAEMONES
I’ faith, you are acting kindly.
LABRAX
No, troth; it’s really yourself, indeed, that’s doing so.
(Going off with the wallet.)
GRIPUS
Hark you, you’ve got the wallet now.
LABRAX
I have got it.
GRIPUS
Make haste.
LABRAX
Make haste about what?
GRIPUS
To pay me the money.
LABRAX
By my troth, I’ll neither give you anything nor do I owe you anything.
GRIPUS
What mode of proceeding is this? Don’t you owe it me?
LABRAX
Troth, not I indeed.
GRIPUS
Didn’t you promise it me upon your oath?
LABRAX
I did take an oath, and now I’ll take an oath, if it is in any way my own pleasure; oaths were invented for preserving property, not for losing it.
GRIPUS
Give me, will you, a great talent of silver, you most perjured fellow.
DAEMONES
Gripus, what talent is it you are asking him for?
GRIPUS
He promised it me on oath.
LABRAX
I chose to swear; (turning to DAEMONES) are you the priest[*] as to my perjury?
DAEMONES
(to GRIPUS.)
For what reason did he promise you the money?
GRIPUS
If I restored this wallet into his hands, he swore that he would give
