PISTHETAERUS. Which?
DEALER IN DECREES. "The Nephelococcygians shall adopt the same weights, measures and decrees as the Olophyxians."[301]
PISTHETAERUS. And you shall soon be imitating the Ototyxians. (Beats him.)
DEALER IN DECREES. Hullo! what are you doing?
PISTHETAERUS. Now will you be off with your decrees? For I am going to let you see some severe ones.
INSPECTOR (returning). I summon Pisthetaerus for outrage for the month of Munychion.[302]
PISTHETAERUS. Ha! my friend! are you still there?
DEALER IN DECREES. "Should anyone drive away the magistrates and not receive them, according to the decree duly posted…"
PISTHETAERUS. What! rascal! you are there too?
INSPECTOR. Woe to you! I'll have you condemned to a fine of ten thousand drachmae.
