SIXTH WOMAN. I carried it ten months.[606]
MNESILOCHUS. You carried it?
SIXTH WOMAN. I swear it by Artemis.
MNESILOCHUS. How much does it hold? Three cotylae?[607] Tell me.
SIXTH WOMAN. Oh! what have you done? You have stripped the poor child quite naked, and it is so small, so small.
MNESILOCHUS. So small?
SIXTH WOMAN. Yes, quite small, to be sure.
MNESILOCHUS. How old is it? Has it seen the feast of cups thrice or four times?
SIXTH WOMAN. It was born about the time of the last Dionysia.[608] But give it back to me.
MNESILOCHUS. No, may Apollo bear me witness.
