Pam. Listen, Pamphilus.

Simo. What are your reasons for believing this?

Chremes. That Phania was my brother.

Simo. I know it: I was well acquainted with him.

Chremes. That he might avoid the war, he quitted Greece: and, following me, set sail for Asia: fearing to leave the child, he took her with him: and this is the first account I have ever received of their fate.

Pam. I am scarcely myself: my mind is so agitated by fear, hope, joy, and astonishment, at this so great and unexpected happiness.

Simo. Believe me, Chremes, I rejoice most sincerely that Glycera proves to be your daughter.

Pam. That, I believe, my father.

Chremes. But stay: I have yet one doubt, which gives me some uneasiness.

Pam. Away with all your doubts and scruples; you seek a difficulty where none exists.
