Τίμων

ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐμπέπρησται, ὦ μιαρέ, ἡ ἀκρόπολις· ὥστε δῆλος εἶ συκοφαντῶν.

Δημέας

ἀλλὰ καὶ πλουτεῖς τὸν ὀπισθόδομον διορύξας.

Τίμων

οὐ διώρυκται οὐδὲ οὗτος, ὥστε ἀπίθανά σου καὶ ταῦτα.

Δημέας

διορυχθήσεται μὲν ὕστερον· ἤδη δὲ σὺ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ ἔχεις.

Τίμων

οὐκοῦν καὶ ἄλλην λάμβανε.

Δημέας

οἴμοι τὸ μετάφρενον.

Τίμων

μὴ κέκραχθι· κατοίσω γάρ σοι καὶ τρίτην· ἐπεὶ καὶ γελοῖα πάμπαν ἂν πάθοιμι δύο μὲν Λακεδαιμονίων μόρας κατακόψας ἄνοπλος, ἓν δὲ μιαρὸν ἀνθρώπιον μὴ ἐπιτρίψας· μάτην γὰρ ἂν εἴην καὶ νενικηκὼς Ὀλύμπια πὺξ καὶ πάλην.

[53]

TIMON

But the Acropolis has not been burned, you scoundrel, so it is plain that you are a blackmailer.

DEMEAS

Well, you got your money by breaking into the treasury.

TIMON

That has not been broken into, so you can’t make good with that charge either. -

DEMEAS

The breaking in will be done later, but you have all the contents now.

TIMON

Well then, take that!

DEMEAS

Oh, my back!

TIMON

Don’t shriek or I will give you a third. It would be too ridiculous if I had cut up two divisions of Spartans unarmed and then couldn’t thrash a single filthy little creature like you. My victory at Olympia in boxing and wrestling would be all for nothing!

Timon the Misanthrope Perseus (The Works of Lucian of Samosata, Vol. 1. Fowler, Henry Watson and Fowler, Francis George, translators. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1905.) — 53 focus

Timon

Why, you scoundrel, the Acropolis has not been set on fire; you are a common blackmailer.

Demeas

You got your gold by breaking into the Treasury.

Timon

It has not been broken into, either; you are not even plausible.

Demeas

There is time for the burglary yet; meantime, you are in possession of the treasures.

Timon

Well, here is another for you, anyhow.

Demeas

Oh! oh! my back!

Timon

Don’t make such a noise, if you don’t want a third. It would be too absurd, you know, if I could cut two companies of Spartans to pieces without my armour, and not be able to” give a single little scoundrel his deserts. My Olympic boxing and wrestling victories would be thrown away.
