EROTIUM

Take a hand-basket and some money. See, you have three didrachmns here.

(Giving him money..)

CYLINDRUS

I have so.
220

EROTIUM

Go and bring some provisions, see that there’s enough for three; let it be neither deficient nor overmuch.

CYLINDRUS

What sort of persons are these to be?

EROTIUM

Myself, Menaechmus, and his Parasite.

CYLINDRUS

Then these make ten, for the Parasite easily performs the duty of eight persons¹.

EROTIUM

I’ve now told you the guests; do you take care of the rest.

CYLINDRUS

Very well.

It’s cooked already; bid them go and take their places.
225

EROTIUM

Make haste back.

CYLINDRUS

I’ll be here directly.

(Exit CYLINDRUS, and EROTIUM goes into her house.)
