STREPSIADES. Who is this?
PASIAS. … for the old day and the new.
STREPSIADES. I call you to witness, that he has named two days. What do you want of me?
PASIAS. I claim of you the twelve minae, which you borrowed from me to buy the dapple-grey horse.
STREPSIADES. A horse! do you hear him? I, who detest horses, as is well known.
PASIAS. I call Zeus to witness, that you swore by the gods to return them to me.
STREPSIADES. Because at that time, by Zeus! Phidippides did not yet know the irrefutable argument.
PASIAS. Would you deny the debt on that account?
STREPSIADES. If not, what use is his science to me?
PASIAS. Will you dare to swear by the gods that you owe me nothing?
