Pisthetaerus: Not for long?
Pisthetaerus: First of all, it is not a temple that we [have].
Pisthetaerus: They must build stone ones for them,
Pisthetaerus: nor to knock at golden doors,
Pisthetairos: But under the bushes and under the young birds
615
Pisthetaerus: They will dwell. But the dignified ones, again
Pisthetairos: The bird's olive tree
Pisthetaerus: The temple will be; and not in Delphi.
Pisthetaerus: nor even having gone to Ammon there
Pisthetaerus: We will sacrifice, but in the marshes.
620
Pisthetaerus: and standing with the cothurni, having them
Pisthetaerus: Let us pray to them for barley and wheat.
Pisthetaerus: stretching forth your hands to the good things
Pisthetaerus: to give some part; and this to us.
Pisthetaerus: It will happen right away.
625
Pisthetairos: They will throw in a few seeds.
