Ah! she drew a fish on the sand! If I know what that means, may I choke myself with a piece of goat's cheese! But I shall know.

Fish live under water, and searching under water is more difficult than on land, ergo he will pay me separately for this fish.

Another such purse and I might cast aside the beggar's wallet and buy myself a slave.

But what wouldst thou say, Chilo, were I to advise thee to buy not a male but a female slave?
I know thee; I know that thou wouldst consent.

If she were beautiful, like Eunice, for instance, thou thyself wouldst grow young near her, and at the same time wouldst have from her a good and certain income.
