οἴμοι περιπλοκὰς
λίαν ἐρωτᾷς. Β. ἀλλ᾽ ἐγὼ σαφῶς φράσω:
τῆς ἁρπαγῆς τοῦ παιδὸς εἰ ξύνοισθά τι,
ταχέως λέγειν χρὴ πρὶν κρέμασθαι. Α. πότερά μοι
γρῖφον προβάλλεις τοῦτον εἰπεῖν, δέσποτα,
τῆς ἁρπαγῆς τοῦ παιδὸς εἰ ξύνοιδά τι,
ἢ τί δύναται τὸ ῥηθέν; Β. ἔξω τις δότω
ἱμάντα ταχέως. Α. οἷον οὐκ ἔγνων ἴσως:
ἔπειτα τοῦτο ζημιοῖς με; μηδαμῶς:
ἅλμης δ᾽ ἐχρῆν τι παραφέρειν ποτήριον.
Β. οἶσθ᾽ οὖν ὅπως δεῖ τοῦτό σ᾽ ἐκπιεῖν; Α. ἐγὼ
κομιδῇ γε. Β. πῶς; Α. ἐνέχυρον ἀποφέροντά
<σου>—
Β. οὔκ, ἀλλ᾽ ὀπίσω τὼ χεῖρε ποιήσαντα δεῖ
ἕλκειν ἀπνευστί.
