See, now, how well you know this man.
A SHARPER.
As well as my own self. This is in the habit of happening: the thing you are holding in your hand, and seeing with your eyes, that same you are looking for as lost. I’ll recollect it letter by letter. C is the beginning of the name.
CHARMIDES
Is it Callias?
A SHARPER.
No: it isn’t that.
CHARMIDES
Callippus?
A SHARPER.
It isn’t that.
CHARMIDES
Callidemides?
A SHARPER.
It isn’t that.
CHARMIDES
Callinicus?
A SHARPER.
No: it isn’t that.
CHARMIDES
Or is it Callimachus?
A SHARPER.
’Tis in vain you suggest; and, i’ faith, I really don’t care one fillip about it, since I recollect enough myself for my own purpose.
CHARMIDES
But there are many people here of the name of Lesbonicus; unless you tell me the name of his father,
I cannot show you these persons whom you are looking for. What is it like? Perhaps we can find it out by guessing.
A SHARPER.
It is something like this: Char—
CHARMIDES
Chares? Or Charicles? Or is it Charmides?
A SHARPER.
Ah! that’s he; may the Deities confound him.
CHARMIDES
I have said to you once before already ⋯ that it is proper for you rather to speak well of a man that is your friend, than to curse him.
A SHARPER.
Isn’t it the fact[*] that this most worthless fellow has lain perdu between my lips and my teeth?
CHARMIDES
Don’t you be cursing an absent friend.
A SHARPER.
Why, then, did this most rascally fellow hide himself away from me?
CHARMIDES
If you had only called him, he would have answered to his name. But where is he himself now?
A SHARPER.
Troth, I left him at Rhadama[*], in the isle of Apeland.
CHARMIDES
⋯
(aside.) What person is there a greater simpleton than I, who myself am making inquiries where I am?
But it is by no means unimportant to this present purpose. What do you say as—?
A SHARPER.
What now?
CHARMIDES
I ask you this.[*] What places have you visited?
A SHARPER.
Places exceedingly wonderful in astonishing ways.
CHARMIDES
I should like to hear about them, unless it is inconvenient.
