ΛΥΚΙΝΟΣ

ἢν μὴ τοῦ ἱματίου λαβόμενοι σε ἐπιστρέψωμεν, ὦ Ἀδείμαντε, οὐχ ὑπακούσει ¹ ἡμῖν βοῶσιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ φροντίζοντι ἔοικας ἐπὶ συννοίας τινὸς οὐ μικρὸν οὐδὲ εὐκαταφρόνητον πρᾶγμα, ὡς δοκεῖς, ἀνακυκλῶν.

ΑΔΕΙΜΑΝΤΟΣ

Οὐδέν, ὦ Λυκῖνε, χαλεπόν, ἀλλά με κενή τις ἔννοια μεταξὺ βαδίζοντα ὑπελθοῦσα παρακοῦσαι ὑμῶν ἐποίησεν ἀτενὲς πρὸς αὐτὴν ἅπαντι τῷ λογισμῷ ἀποβλέποντα.

ΛΥΚΙΝΟΣ

Τίς αὕτη; μὴ γὰρ ὀκνήσῃς εἰπεῖν, εἰ μή τίς ἐστι τῶν πάνυ ἀπορρήτων. καίτοι ἐτελέσθημεν, ὡς οἶσθα, καὶ σιγᾶν ² μεμαθήκαμεν.

ΑΔΕΙΜΑΝΤΟΣ

Ἀλλ' αἰσχύνομαι ἔγωγε εἰπεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς. οὕτω γὰρ μειρακιῶδες ὑμῖν δόξει τὸ φρόντισμα.

ΛΥΚΙΝΟΣ

Μῶν ἐρωτικόν τί ἐστιν; οὐδὲ γὰρ οὐδὲ τοῦτο ἀμυήτοις ἡμῖν ἐξαγορεύσεις, ἀλλὰ ὑπὸ λαμπρᾷ τῇ δᾳδὶ καὶ αὐτοῖς τετελεσμένοις.

ΑΔΕΙΜΑΝΤΟΣ

Οὐδέν, ὦ θαυμάσιε, τοιοῦτον, ἀλλά τινα πλοῦτον ἐμαυτῷ ἀνεπλαττόμην, ἣν κενὴν μακαρίαν οἱ πολλοὶ ³ καλοῦσιν, καί μοι ἐν ἀκμῇ τῆς περιουσίας καὶ τρυφῆς ἐπέστητε.

LYCINUS

We shall have to pull you back by your cloak, Adimantus; you take no notice when we shout. You seem thoughtful, as though you’re turning over something serious and important in your mind.

ADIMANTUS

Nothing bothersome, Lycinus; an empty notion came into my head as I was walking along and made me deaf to your shouting, I was so wrapped up in my thoughts.

LYCINUS

What was it? Don’t be shy, unless it’s completely forbidden to tell it. We’ve been initiated, as you know, and learnt to hold our tongues.

ADIMANTUS

I’m ashamed to tell you. You will think it such a childish idea.

LYCINUS

Nothing to do with love, is it? You certainly won’t be telling it to the unenlightened! We too have been initiated, under a torch which was blazing!

ADIMANTUS

Nothing of that kind, my dear fellow. It was just a dream of wealth—what everybody calls “empty bliss and you caught me at the height of my fortune and luxury.

LYCINUS

Well, that’s very simple. Share your luck, as they say; bring your wealth and pool it.

The Ship: Or, the Wishes Perseus (The Works of Lucian of Samosata, Vol. 4. Fowler, Henry Watson and Fowler, Francis George, translators. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1905.) — 11 focus

Lycinus

We shall have to pull you by the cloak, and compel you to turn round, Adimantus; you will take no notice of our shouts, You seem like one rapt in contemplation; you are pondering on matters of no light import?

Adimantus

Oh, it is nothing serious. An idle fancy, that came to me as I walked, and engroeee my attention, so that I never heard you.

Lycinus

And the fancy? Tell us without reserve, unless it is a very delicate matter. And even if it is, you know, we have all been through the Mysteries; we can keep a secret.

Adimantus

No, I had rather not tell you; you would think it so childish.

Lycinus

Can it be a love affair? Speak on; those mysteries too are not unknown to us; we have been initiated in full torchlight.
