ἀπολεῖς ἄρʼ ὁμήλικα τόνδε φιλανθρακέα;

Δικαιόπολις

οὐδʼ ἐμοῦ λέγοντος ὑμεῖς ἀρτίως ἠκούσατε.

Χορός

ἀλλὰ γὰρ νῦν λέγʼ, εἴ σοι δοκεῖ, τόν τε Λακεδαιμόνιον

† αὐτὸν ὅτι τῷ † τρόπῳ σοὐστὶ φίλος·

ὡς τόδε τὸ λαρκίδιον οὐ προδώσω ποτέ.

οὑτοιί σοι χαμαί, καὶ σὺ κατάθου πάλιν τὸ ξίφος.

Δικαιόπολις

ἀλλʼ ὅπως μὴ νʼ τοῖς τρίβωσιν ἐγκάθηνταί που λίθοι.

DICAEOPOLIS

I shall dismember it despite your cries; I will listen to nothing.

CHORUS

How! will you kill this coal-basket, my beloved comrade?

DICAEOPOLIS

Just now, you would not listen to me.

CHORUS

Well, speak now, if you will; tell us, tell us you have a weakness for the Lacedaemonians. I consent to anything; never will I forsake this dear little basket.

DICAEOPOLIS

First, throw down your stones.

CHORUS

There! 'tis done. And you, do put away your sword.

DICAEOPOLIS

Let me see that no stones remain concealed in your cloaks.

CHORUS

They are all on the ground; see how we shake our garments. Come, no haggling, lay down your sword; we threw away everything while crossing from one side of the stage to the other.¹

Dikaiopolis: 'I will kill, I have cried out; for I will not listen.'

335

Chorus: Will you destroy this friendly and amiable comrade?

Dikaiopolis: Even though I was not speaking, you just now heard [me].

Chorus: But now, if it seems good to you, speak of both the Lacedaemonian

Chorus: † how he is not a friend to you in that way·

Chorus: By this little bird, I will never betray him.

340

Dikaiopolis: Now, first of all, throw the stones down here for me.

Chorus: These are on the ground for you, and you put back the sword again.

Dikaiopolis: but so that they may not sit on the stones somewhere while they are rubbing.

Chorus: It has been shaken down to the ground; do you not see it shaking?

Chorus: but do not give me an excuse, but rather throw the dart.

345

Chorus: How much he trembles at the same time as the turn!

Line 339

† αὐτὸν ὅτι τῷ † τρόπῳ σοὐστὶ φίλος·

The sentence contains two marked textual cruxes indicated by the dagger symbols (†). The first, preceding αὐτὸν, and the second, preceding τρόπῳ, represent gaps or corruptions in the transmitted text that have led to significant scholarly disagreement regarding the original wording. The phrase 'τῷ τρόπῳ' (in what way/manner) is syntactically awkward in this context, and editors have proposed various conjectures to resolve the corruption, ranging from emending the preposition to suggesting a different lexical item entirely. Without resolving these textual issues, the precise semantic force of Dicaeopolis's assertion regarding his friendship with Lamachus remains obscured.
