Delphi (Greece) (search for this): card 136
But am I not the most unfortunate of men? Henceforward I shall only be called the son of Capnius. Sosias He is pushing the door. Bdelycleon Throw your weight upon it, come, put heart into the work. I will come and help you. Watch both lock and bolt. Take care he does not gnaw through the peg. Philocleon from within What are you doing, you wretches? Let me go out; it is imperative that I go and judge, or Dracontides will be acquitted. Bdelycleon Would you mind that? Philocleon Once at Delphi, the god, whom I was consulting, foretold, that if an accused man escaped me, I should die of consumption. Bdelycleon Apollo the Saviour, what a prophecy! Philocleon Ah! I beseech you, if you do not want my death, let me go. Bdelycleon No, Philocleon, no never, by Poseidon! Philocleon Well then, I shall gnaw through the net with my teeth. Bdelycleon But you have no teeth. Philocleon Oh! you rascal, how can I kill you? How? Give me a sword, quick, or a conviction tablet. Bdelycleon O

his going out; for his son is broken-hearted over this mania. At first he tried him with gentleness, wanted to persuade him to wear the cloak no longer, to go out no more; unable to convince him, he had him bathed and purified according to the ritual without any greater success, and then handed him over to the Corybantes; but the old man escaped them, and carrying off the kettledrum, rushed right into the midst of the Heliasts. As Cybele could do nothing with her rites, his son took him to Aegina and forcibly made him lie one night in the temple of Asclepius, the God of Healing, but before daylight there he was to be seen at the gate of the tribunal. Since then we let him go out no more, but he escaped us by the drains or by the skylight, so we stuffed up every opening with old rags and made all secure; then he drove short sticks into the wall and sprang from rung to rung like a magpie. Now we have stretched nets all around the court and we keep watch and ward. The old man's name i

Xanthias turning to the audience Come, I must explain the matter to the spectators. But first a few words of preamble: expect nothing very high-flown from us, nor any jests stolen from Megara; we have no slaves, who throw baskets of nuts to the spectators, nor any Heracles to be robbed of his dinner, nor does Euripides get loaded with contumely; and despite the happy chance that gave Cleon his fame we shall not go out of our way to belabour him again. Our little subject is not wanting in sense; it is well within your capacity and at the same time cleverer than many vulgar comedies. —We have a master of great renown, who is now sleeping up there on the other story. He has bidden us keep guard over his father, whom he has locked in, so that he may not go out. This father has a curious complaint; not one of you could hit upon or guess it, if I did not tell you. —Well then, try! I hear Amynias, the son of Pronapus, over there, saying, "He is addicted to gambling." He's wrong! Sosias

ake a note of his reply.They start to leave. Philocleon Listen, instead of going off so abruptly. A woman at Sybaris broke a box. Accuser to his witness I again ask you to witness this. Philocleon The box therefore had the fact attested, but the woman said, "Never worry about witnessing the matter, but hurry off to buy a cord to tie it together with; that will be the more sensible course." Accuser Oh! go on with your ribaldry until the Archon calls the case. He and his witness depart. Bdelycleon to Philocleon By Demeter! you'll stay here no longer! I am going to take you and carry you off. Philocleon And what for? Bdelycleon What for? I am going to carry you into the house, so that the accusers will not run out of witnesses. Philocleon One day at Delphi, Aesop ... Bdelycleon I don't care a fig for that. Philocleon ... was accused of having stolen a sacred vase. But he replied, that the horn-beetle ... Bdelycleon Oh, dear, dear! You'll drive me crazy with your horn-beetle.

stones at him. So, first come here. Will you leave it in my hands to name the indemnity I must pay, if I promise you my friendship as well, or will you fix it yourself? Accuser Fix it; I like neither lawsuits nor disputes. Philocleon A man of Sybaris fell from his chariot and wounded his head most severely; he was a very poor driver. One of his friends came up to him and said, "Every man to his trade." Well then, go you to Pittalus to get mended. Bdelycleon You are incorrigible. Accuser to his witness At all events, make a note of his reply.They start to leave. Philocleon Listen, instead of going off so abruptly. A woman at Sybaris broke a box. Accuser to his witness I again ask you to witness this. Philocleon The box therefore had the fact attested, but the woman said, "Never worry about witnessing the matter, but hurry off to buy a cord to tie it together with; that will be the more sensible course." Accuser Oh! go on with your ribaldry until the Archon calls the case.
