Τρυγαῖος

φέρε δὴ κατίδω ποῖ τοὺς λίθους ἀφέλξομεν.

Ἑρμῆς

ὦ μιαρὲ καὶ τολμηρὲ τί ποιεῖν διανοεῖ;

Τρυγαῖος

οὐδὲν πονηρόν, ἀλλʼ ὅπερ καὶ Κιλλικῶν.

Ἑρμῆς

ἀπόλωλας ὦ κακόδαιμον.

Τρυγαῖος

οὐκοῦν ἢν λάχω.

Ἑρμῆς γὰρ ὢν κλήρῳ ποιήσεις οἶδʼ ὅτι.
365

Ἑρμῆς

ἀπόλωλας, ἐξόλωλας.

Τρυγαῖος

ἐς τίνʼ ἡμέραν;

Ἑρμῆς

εἰς αὐτίκα μάλʼ.

Τρυγαῖος

ἀλλʼ οὐδὲν ἠμπόληκά πω,

οὔτʼ ἄλφιτʼ οὔτε τυρόν, ὡς ἀπολούμενος.

Ἑρμῆς

καὶ μὴν ἐπιτέτριψαί γε.

Τρυγαῖος

κᾆτα τῷ τρόπῳ

οὐκ ᾐσθόμην ἀγαθὸν τοσουτονὶ λαβών;
370

Ἑρμῆς

ἆρʼ οἶσθα θάνατον ὅτι προεῖφʼ ὁ Ζεὺς ὃς ἂν

ταύτην ἀνορύττων εὑρεθῇ;

Τρυγαῖος

νῦν ἆρά με

ἅπασʼ ἀνάγκη ʼστʼ ἀποθανεῖν;

Ἑρμῆς

εὖ ἴσθʼ ὅτι.

Τρυγαῖος

ἐς χοιρίδιόν μοί νυν δάνεισον τρεῖς δραχμάς·

δεῖ γὰρ μυηθῆναί με πρὶν τεθνηκέναι.
375

Ἑρμῆς

ὦ Ζεῦ κεραυνοβρόντα.

Τρυγαῖος

μὴ πρὸς τῶν θεῶν

ἡμῶν κατείπῃς, ἀντιβολῶ σε δέσποτα.

Ἑρμῆς

οὐκ ἂν σιωπήσαιμι.

Τρυγαῖος

ναὶ πρὸς τῶν κρεῶν,

ἁγὼ προθύμως σοι φέρων ἀφικόμην.

Ἑρμῆς

ἀλλʼ ὦ μέλʼ ὑπὸ τοῦ Διὸς ἀμαλδυνθήσομαι,
380

εἰ μὴ τετορήσω ταῦτα καὶ λακήσομαι.

Τρυγαῖος

μή νυν λακήσῃς, λίσσομαί σʼ ὦρμῄδιον.

Trygaeus

How shall we set about removing these stones?

Hermes
who has just returned.

Rash reprobate, what do you propose doing?

Trygaeus

Nothing bad, as Cillicon said.

Hermes

You are undone, you wretch.

Trygaeus

Yes, if the lot had to decide my life, 365 for Hermes would know how to turn the chance.

Hermes

You are lost, you are dead.

Trygaeus

On what day?

Hermes

This instant.

Trygaeus

But I have not provided myself with flour and cheese yet to start for death.

Hermes

You are kneaded and ground already, I tell you.

Trygaeus

Hah! 370 I have not yet tasted that gentle pleasure.

Hermes

Don't you know that Zeus has decreed death for him who is caught exhuming Peace?

Trygaeus

What! must I really and truly die?

Hermes

You must.

Trygaeus

Well then, lend me three drachmae to buy a young pig; 375 I wish to have myself initiated before I die.

Hermes

Oh! Zeus, the Thunderer!

Trygaeus

I adjure you in the name of the gods, master, don't report us!

Hermes

I may not, I cannot keep silent.

Trygaeus

In the name of the meats which I brought you so good-naturedly.

Hermes

380 Why, wretched man, Zeus will annihilate me, if I do not shout out at the top of my voice, to inform him what you are plotting.

Trygaeus

Oh, no! don't shout, I beg you, dear little Hermes.

Trygaeus: Come then, let us see where we shall pull the stones.

Hermes: O filthy and bold one, what do you intend to do?

Trygaeus: Nothing bad, but just like the Cilicians.

Hermes: You are ruined, you wretched one.

Trygaeus: Well, if I had cast lots.

Trygaeus: For since you are Hermes, I know that you will make a choice by lot.

365

Hermes: You are ruined, you are utterly destroyed.

Trygaeus: Until what day?

Hermes: straightaway, very quickly.

Trygaeus: But I have not yet sold anything,

Trygaeus: neither barley-meal nor cheese, as if he were washing himself.

Hermes: Indeed, I have ground it to powder.

Trygaeus: And then in what way?

Trygaeus: Did I not feel good, having received so much?

370

Hermes: Do you know that Zeus has forbidden anyone who

Hermes: Is this being dug up?

Trygaeus: Now, is it really me?

Trygaeus: Is it necessary for all to die?

Hermes: know well that.

Trygaeus: Now lend me three drachmas in a little piggy bank;

Trygaeus: for I must be initiated before I die.

375

Hermes: O Zeus, thunderer.

Trygaeus: by the gods!

Trygaeus: Speak against us, I beg you, master.

Hermes: I would not be silent.

Trygaeus: Yes, by the meats,

Trygaeus: I have come, bringing it gladly to you.

Hermes: but, oh, I will be blunted by Zeus.

380

Hermes: unless you sharpen these and I will be whistled at.

Trygaeus: Don't sneeze now, I beg you, little oar.
