Philocleon: Come up here, golden-washed!
Philocleon: Grasping the rope with this hand.
Philocleon: Take it; and watch out, because the rope is rotten;
Philocleon: Nevertheless, though he is being rubbed, he is not annoyed.
Philocleon: Do you see how skillfully I borrowed it?
1345
Philocleon: the Lesbian woman is already about to sing to the drinking companions;
Philocleon: Give this dog a favor on account of those things.
Philocleon: But you will not give it back, nor will you be terrifying; I know that.
Philocleon: But you will deceive and cheat this man greatly;
Philocleon: for you have already done this to many and others as well.
1350
Philokleon: But if she should turn out not to be a bad woman now,
Philocleon: "I, whenever my son dies,"
Philocleon: Having loosed the concubine outside, o little pig.
Philocleon: But now I do not have control over my own money.
Philocleon: for I am young and I am closely watched.
1355
Philocleon: for my own housekeeper is guarding me, and she is difficult.
Philocleon: I'm also a cumin-grinding, celery-carving, parsnip-sculpting.
Philocleon: So he fears these things about me lest I be corrupted.
Philocleon: For he has no father except me.
Philocleon: And indeed it seems likely that he will throw both at you and at me.
1360
Philocleon: But stand here in these fetters as quickly as possible.
Philocleon: Take it, so that I may greet him in a youthful manner.
Philocleon: Such as this one [did] to me before the Mysteries.
Bdelucleon: O you, you, you stinking fellow and pig-trampler,
Bdelycleon: you seem to desire and long for a lovely corpse.
1365
Bdelycleon: By Apollo, he will not do this by way of insult.
Philocleon: how sweetly you would eat justice from vinegar.
Bdelucléon: It is not a terrible thing to squeak at the flute-girl.
Bdelycles: stealing from the drinking companions?
Philocleon: Which flute-girl?
Philocleon: Why are you prattling like someone who has fallen from a tomb?
1370
Bdelycleon: By Zeus, that is certainly your Dardanis.
Philocleon: No, but in the market-place he is burning incense to the gods.
Bdelucleon: Do you want this?
Philocleon: You are really angry. Don't you see that she is marked?
Bdelucleon: But what is this black thing in the middle of it?
Philocleon: The cake is surely coming out while it is burning.
1375
Bdelycleon: But isn't that fellow behind him a fart?
Philocleon: This is the tip of the torch.
Bdelukleon: What are you saying? What kind of smell? Are you not coming here?
Philocleon: Ah ah, what are you waiting to do?
Bdelycleon: Take her by the hand and lead her away.
Bdelycleon: taking you away and thinking you were rotten
1380
Bdelycleon: And he can do nothing.
Philokleon: Now listen to me.
Philocleon: When I was watching the Olympic Games,
Philocleon: You fought well in a pillow-fight with Ascondas.
Philocleon: already being old; then having struck with the fist
Philocleon: The older man knocked down the younger man.
1385
Philokleon: In light of this, be careful not to suspect anything.
Bdelycleon: By Zeus, you have indeed learned the Olympic Games.
