ΑΔΕΙΜΑΝΤΟΣ

Οὐκοῦν ἐγὼ μὲν οὐδὲ νῦν ἀποστήσομαι τῆς νεώς, ἀλλ’, ἐπείπερ ἔξεστιν, ἐπιμετρήσω τῇ εὐχῇ. ὁ δὲ Ἑρμῆς ὁ κερδῷος ἐπινευσάτω ἅπασιν. ἔστω γὰρ τὸ πλοῖον καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ πάντα ἐμὰ καὶ ὁ φόρτος οἱ ἔμποροι αἱ γυναῖκες οἱ ναῦται καὶ ἄλλο εἴ τι ἥδιστον κτημάτων ἁπάντων.

ΣΑΜΙΠΠΟΣ

Λέληθας σεαυτὸν ἔχων ἐν τῇ νηΐ.

ΑΔΕΙΜΑΝΤΟΣ

Τὸν παῖδα φής, ὦ Σάμιππε, τὸν κομήτην. κἀκεῖνος οὖν ἔστω ἐμός. ὁπόσος δὲ ὁ πυρὸς ἔνδον ἐστίν, οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς ἅπας χρυσίον ἐπίσημον γενέσθω, τοσοῦτοι δαρεικοί.

ADIMANTUS

Well, I shan’t desert my ship even now. Indeed I’ll add to my prayer since I’m allowed. May Hermes Lord of Profit give his consent to all! May the ship and all in her be mine—cargo, merchants, women, sailors, and every sweetest treasure in the world!

SAMIPPUS

You’ve forgotten something that you have on board.

ADIMANTUS

You mean the boy, Samippus, the one with long hair. May he be mine too! And let her cargo of wheat be changed entirely to minted gold, all darics.

Adimantus

Well, I stick to my ship still; only I shall wish some more things, as it is allowed. May the God of Luck say Yes to all! I will have the ship, and everything in her; the cargo, the merchants, the women, the sailors, and anything else that is particularly nice to have.

Samippus

You forget one thing you have on board —

Adimantus

Oh, the boy with the hair; yes, him too. And instead of the present cargo of wheat, I will have the same bulk of coined gold, all sovereigns.
