Excerpt from
Bacchides (Plautus)
CHRYSALUS
Occisi sumus. Qui
in mentem venit tibi istuc facinus facere tam malum? │ We’re finished! What
came into your head to do this thing, such an awful thing?
MNESILOCHUS
Bacchidem atque hunc suspicabar propter
crimen, Chrysale, mi male consuluisse: ob eam ream omne aurum iratus
reddidi meo patri. │ On account of an accusation, Chrysalus, I suspected ¦ that
Bacchides and this man had plotted against me: because of
that I angrily handed all the money over to my father.
CHRYSALUS
Quid, ubi reddebas
aurum, dixisti patri? │ What did you say to your father when you
were returning the money?
MNESILOCHUS
Me id aurum accepisse extemplo ab hospite Archidemide. │ [I said implied] That I had received the money on demand from his friend Archidemides.
