  Fuitne huic pater Thensaurochrysonicochrysides?

      Wasn’t his father called Ducatsdoubloonsandpiecesofeightson?

Arist.

  Non fuit, neque ego istuc nomen umquam audivi ante hunc diem
  Philocrati Theodoromedes fuit pater.

      No sir, he was not, and I never heard that name before
      to-day.  The father of Philocrates was Theodoromedes.

Tynd.

  Pereo probe
  quin quiescis? idie rectum cor meum, ac suspende te.
  tu sussultas, ego miser vix asto prae formidine.

(aside, dryly) I’m jolly well done for.  Stop your noise, will you, heart?  Go to the deuce, and be hanged to you!  Jumping up and down, while I, poor devil, can hardly stand for fear!

Hegio

  Satin istuc mihi exquisitum est, fuisse hunc servom in Alide
  neque esse hunc Philocratem?

      Am I to take it as absolutely clear that this fellow was a
      slave in Elis, that he is not Philocrates?

Arist

  Tam satis quam numquam hoc invenies secus.
  sed ubi is nunc est?

      So absolutely that you’ll never find it to be anything
      different.  But where is Philocrates at present?

Hegio

  Ubi ego mimime atque ipsus se volt maxume 640
  sed vide sis.

      (savagely) Where I least want him, and he most wants to
      be.  Do, do, see if there’s not some mistake, though.

Arist.

  Quin exploratum dico et provisum hoc tibi.

      No, I’m sure of my ground and fully informed in what I tell
      you.

Hegio

  Certon?

      You’re certain?

Arist.

  Quin nihil, inquam, invenies magis hoc certo certus. 
  Philocrates iam inde usque amicus fuit mihi a puero puer.

      You’ll never find a deader certainty than this, I assure
      you.  Philocrates has been a friend of mine ever since he was
      a boy.

Hegio

  Tum igitur ego deruncinatus, deartuatus sum miser
  huius scelesti techinis, qui me ut lubitum est ductavit dolis
  sed qua faciest tuos sodalis Philocrates?

So then, I’ve been trimmed, torn limb from limb, poor fool, by the arts of this rogue, who’s taken me in with his tricks to suit his taste!  But what does your friend Philocrates look like?

Arist.

  Dicam tibi
  macilento ore, naso acuto, corpore albo, oculis nigris,
  subrufus aliquantum, crispus, cincinnatus.

      I’ll tell you—­thin face, sharp nose, complexion fair, black
      eyes, hair a little reddish, waving, and curled.

Hegio

  Convenit.

      That agrees!

Tynd.
