Stephanivm

Mirúm videri némini vestrúm volo, spectatóres,

quid ego hinc, quae illic habito, exeam: faciam vos certiores.

domo dúdum huc arcessita sum, nam quoniam nuntiatum est

istarum venturos viros, ibi festinamus omnes;

lectis sternendis studuimus munditiisque apparandis.

intér illud tamen negotium meis curavi amicis,

Sticho et conservo Sagarino meo, cena cocta ut esset.

Stichus obsonatust, ceterum ego operam do: is adlegavit.

nunc ibo hinc et amicos meos curabo hic advenientes.—

673 (Enter STEPHANIUM from the house of EPIGNOMUS.)

STEPHANIUM

(to the AUDIENCE.)

I wish that it may appear wondrous to no one of you, Spectators,

why I who live there (pointing to the house of PAMPHILUS) am come out hither from this other house: I’ll inform you thereon. Just now was I sent for to this house by the back way. For as soon as news was brought that the husbands of these ladies were about to come, we all hurried thither. We attended to laying the couches, and setting all in order. Still, amid these duties, I had a care for my friends,

Stichus and my fellow-servant Sagarinus, that their dinner should be cooked. Stichus has been caterer; but for cooking it, I’ve appointed one my deputy. Now, I’ll be off hence, and attend to my friends, who, I see, are coming here.
