Adimantus

Oh dear, no; nothing of that kind—No; I was making myself an imaginary present of a fortune—that ‘vain, deluding joy,’ as it has been called; I had just reached the pinnacle of luxury and affluence when you arrived.

Lycinus

Then all I have to say is, ‘Halves!’ Come, out with your wealth! We are Adimantus’s friends: let us share his superfluities.

Adimantus

Well, I lost sight of you at once on the ship—the moment I had got you safely up, Lycinus. I was measuring the thickness of the anchor, and you disappeared somewhere.

Ἀδείμαντος

οὐδέν, ὦ θαυμάσιε, τοιοῦτον, ἀλλα τινα πλοῦτον ἐμαυτῷ ἀνεπλαττόμην, ἣν κενὴν μακαρίαν οἱ παλαιοὶ καλοῦσι, καί μοι ἐν ἀκμῇ τῆς περιουσίας καὶ τρυφῆς ἐπέστητε.

Λυκῖνος

οὐκοῦν τὸ προχειρότατον τοῦτο, κοινὸς Ἑρμᾶς φασι, καὶ ἐς μέσον κατατίθει φέρων τὸν πλοῦτον· ἄξιον γὰρ ἀπολαῦσαι τὸ μέρος φίλους ὄντας τῆς Ἀδειμάντου τρυφῆς.

Ἀδείμαντος

ἀπελείφθην μὲν ὑμῶν εὐθὺς ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ ἐς τὴν ναῦν ἐπιβάσει, ἐπεὶ σέ, ὦ Λυκῖνε, κατέστησα ἐς τὸ ἀσφαλές· περιμετροῦντος γάρ μου τῆς ἀγκύρας τὰ πάχος οὐκ οἶδα ὅπου ὑμεῖς ἀπέστητε.

LYCINUS

His friends should enjoy their part of Adimantus’s luxury.

ADIMANTUS

I was separated from you as soon as we were on board, Lycinus, after bringing you there safely. I was measuring the width of the anchors when you went off somewhere.
