In the stadion

I’m all for diskos-throwing, sprinting. Come,

A trial race! [To Dion.]

Dion.

[Agreeing.]

I’m with you!

[The two athletes, Dion and Maximus strip off their outer garments, throw these down, under the tree.]

Serapíon.

[A small boy, with a slight limp.]

O Dion, brother! Let me come with you!
