Chremes, Simo, Crito, Pamphilus.

Crito. Say no more, Pamphilus, I would do what you wish either for your sake, or for Glycera’s, or even my regard for truth would be a sufficient inducement.

Chremes. Do I see Crito the Andrian? Yes, it is he!

Crito. Well met, Chremes.

Chremes. What brought you to Athens, who are such a stranger here?

Crito. I came hither on business: but is this Simo?

Chremes. Yes.

Simo. Does he ask for me? Well, Sir, I am Simo: do you dare to say that Glycera is a citizen of Athens?

Crito. Do you deny it?

Simo. Are you come hither so well prepared?
