But I should be glad to ask you yourself, Dionysodorus,
whether you are speaking of the ship as having been lost, or as having arrived
safe. For if the ship has been wrecked and is lost, why do you keep on disputing

to recover either interest or principal. But if the ship is safe and has not
been wrecked, why do you not pay us the money which you agreed to pay?
