1. 5.3.719

   Upon my faith, Phaedromus, you have given this decision corruptly.

2. 5.3.720

   It shall both be bad for you, and you, Captain,—may the Gods and Goddesses confound you.

3. 5.3.718

   And as for you, you shall be clapt in prison at once, unless the money’s returned me.

4. 5.3.721

   Then follow me.

5. 5.3.721b

   Follow you where?

6. 5.3.721c

   To my banker—to the Praetor; for it’s there that I pay my money to all persons to whom I’m indebted.

7. 5.3.723

   I’ll be carrying you hence to prison, and not to the Praetor, if you don’t pay back the money.

    I’ faith, I really do so.

11. 5.3.725c

    I don’t misunderstand these fists of mine.

12. 5.3.726

    What then?

13. 5.3.726b

    What then, do you ask? With these same fists, if you provoke me, I’ll be making you quiet immediately.

14. 5.3.727b

    Well then, take this back at once.

15. 5.3.727c

    By all means.

16. 5.3.728

    Captain, you’ll dine with me; the nuptials shall take place to-day.

17. 5.3.729

    May this matter turn out well for me and for yourselves.

18. 5.3.729a

    Spectators, give us your applause.
