CLISTHENES (to a fourth woman). Well then! let us see. To begin with you; who are you?
MNESILOCHUS (aside). Wherever am I to stow myself?
CLISTHENES. Each and every one must pass the scrutiny.
MNESILOCHUS (aside). Oh! great gods!
FOURTH WOMAN. You ask me who I am? I am the wife of Cleonymus.[597]
CLISTHENES. Do you know this woman?
CHORUS. Yes, yes, pass on to the rest.
CLISTHENES. And she who carries the child?
MNESILOCHUS (aside). I'm a dead man. (He runs off.)
CLISTHENES (to Mnesilochus). Hi! you there! where are you off to? Stop there. What are you running away for?
