And I suffered this through horse-fever and my son.
καὶ τοῦτο ἔπαθον διὰ τὴν ἱππικὴν καὶ διὰ τὸν ἐμὸν υἱόν.
29
For my creditors always exact justice, and unless I do something they will always exact [justice].
ἀεὶ γὰρ δίκας λαμβάνουσιν οἱ χρῆσται, καὶ εἰ μή τι ποιήσω, εἰς ἀεὶ λήψονται.
30
So teach me one of your arguments.
δίδασκε οὖν με τὸν ἕτερον τῶν σῶν λόγων.

Which do you mean?

33
The greater or the lesser?

34
STR. I mean the unjust one, the lesser, the one stopping debts.
ΣΤΡΕΨ. τὸν ἄδικον λέγω, τὸν ἥττονα, τὸν τὰ χρέα παύοντα.
35
For this argument will win lawsuits, the greater won’t.
οὗτος γὰρ ὁ λόγος τὰς δίκας νικήσει, ὁ κτρείττων δ’ οὔ.
36
What shall I do?
τί δράσω;
37
SOC. What? First lie down on the couch.

41
Aren’t you thinking?
ΣΩΚ. οὐχί φροντίζεις
42
STR. I? [Yes] by Poseidon.
ΣΤΡΕΨ. ἐγώ; νή τὸν Ποσειδῶ.

ΣΤΡΕΨ. ἔχω γνώμην τινά.
59

60
STR. I shall take a witch woman and I shall steal the moon by night.
ΣΤΡΕΨ. λήψομαι γυναῖκα φαρμακίδα καὶ κλέψω ἐν νυκτί τὴν σελήνην.
61

ΣΩΚ. (puzzled) τί φής;
62
You will steal the moon?

67
The moon will no longer rise.
ἡ δὲ σελήνη οὐκέτι ἀνατελεῖ.
68
How then will the creditors take their money?
πῶς οὖν τὰ χρήματα λήψονται οἱ χρῆσται;
69
SOC. To hell with you!
ΣΩΚ. (very annoyed) βαλλ’ εἰς κόρακας.
70
You are a peasant and ignorant.
