Sycophant: Alas, wretched me, how I am lost, poor wretch!
850
Sycophant: and wretched, and four times and five times
Sycophant: And twelve times and ten thousand times; oh, alas.
Sycophant: So thoroughly am I mixed up with the rich god.
Carion: Apollon, averting one, and dear gods,
Charon: What evil has this man suffered, I wonder?
855
Sycophant: for I am not suffering terrible troubles now,
Sycophant: having lost everything that was in the house.
Sycophant: by this god, who is to become blind.
Sycophant: Again, if only the lawsuits do not cease!
Dikaios: I think I am nearly coming to know the matter.
860
Dikaios: for a man who is faring badly is approaching,
Dikaios: It seems that he belongs to the wicked party.
Carion: By Zeus, then, he is well doing in perishing.
Sycophant: where, where is he who alone makes us all rich?
Sycophant: 'This fellow, promising, will do it immediately,'
865
Sycophant: if he were to see again from the beginning? But he
Sycophant: it is much more the case that some are completely destroyed.
Carion: And who has done this, then?
Carion: Were you really one of the scoundrels and wall-climbers?
Sycophant: By Zeus, no indeed, none of you is in good health,
870
Sycophant: And there is no way that you do not have my money.
Carion: How seriously Damater has entered!
Charon: the sycophant. It is clear that he is a glutton.
Sycophant: you, going to the market, would not arrive in time.
Sycophant: for on the wheel you must be there twisted.
875
Sycophant: to speak what you have acted with cunning.
Carion: Alas, so you are.
Dikaios: By Zeus the savior, he is certainly of great worth.
Dikaios: The god is just to all the Greeks.
Dikaios: may he destroy the evil slanderers evilly.
Sycophant: Alas, wretch! Do you too laugh at me while participating?
880
Sycophant: since from where have you taken this cloak?
Sycophant: Yesterday I saw you, a ragged man.
Dikaios: I value nothing of yours. For I am wearing what I bought.
Dikaios: This ring, from Eudamos, for a drachma.
Carion: But there is no room for a slanderous plot.
885
Sycophant: Are not these great insults? Mock on,
Sycophant: Whatever you were doing here, I have not told.
Sycophant: For there is nothing good for anyone here.
Dikaios: By Zeus, certainly not by yours; be quite sure of that.
Sycophant: for from my [things], by Zeus, they will dine.
890
Carion: but in truth you, along with the witness,
Charon: being filled without having burst anyone.
Sycophant: Shall I deny it? He is inside, you most filthy wretch.
Sycophant: a great deal of money, and chopped and roasted meat.
Sycophant: Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.
895
Charon: Is he smelling something foul?
Dikaios: Perhaps because of the cold.
Dikaios: for he wears a shabby cloak like that.
Sycophant: These things, then, are unbearable, O Zeus and gods,
Sycophant: These men are insulting me? Alas, how much I am vexed!
Sycophant: because, being good and loving my city, I suffer ill.
