Ἀδείμαντος

εἶτα δεῖπνα ἐπὶ χρυσοῦ — εὐτελὴς γὰρ ὁ ἄργυρος καὶ οὐ κατʼ ἐμέ — τάριχος μὲν ἐξ Ἰβηρίας, οἶνος δὲ ἐξ Ἰταλίας, ἔλαιον δὲ ἐξ Ἰβηρίας καὶ τοῦτο, μέλι δὲ ἡμέτερον τὸ ἄπυρον, καὶ ὄψα πανταχόθεν καὶ σύες καὶ λαγώς, καὶ ὅσα πτηνά, ὄρνις ἐκ Φάσιδος καὶ ταὼς ἐξ Ἰνδίας καὶ ἀλεκτρυὼν ὁ Νομαδικός· οἱ δὲ 264 σκευάζοντες ἕκαστα σοφισταί τινες περὶ πέμματα καὶ χυμοὺς ἔχοντες. εἰ δέ τινι προπίοιμι σκύφον ἢ φιάλην αἰτήσας, ὁ ἐκπιὼν ἀποφερέτω καὶ τὸ ἔκπωμα.

ADIMANTUS

Then dinners on gold—silver is cheap and unworthy of me—a pickled fish from Spain, wine from Italy, oil from Spain, as well, our own fresh Attic honey, meat from all parts—boar, and hare, and a variety of game-birds: a pheasant from Phasis, a peacock from India, and a guinea cock: and my several cooks will be experts in sweetmeats and sauces. If I demand a cup or a bowl and pledge a guest, let him drink and take the cup away with him.

Adimantus

Well, so the dinner service is to be of gold,—no silver for me, it is much too cheap—and I shall have smoked fish from Spain; wine from Italy; oil from Spain again; our own honey, but it must be clarified without heat; delicacies from all quarters; wild boars; hares; all sorts of birds, pheasants, Indian peacocks, Numidian capons; and special cooks for everything, artists in sauce and seasoning. And when I call for a beaker or goblet to pledge any one, he shall take it home with him.
