Cri. Greetings to you, Chremes.
Chrem. How is it that, so contrary to your usage, you are at Athens?
Cri. So it has happened. But is this Simo?
Chrem. It is he.
Cri. Simo, were you asking for me?
Sim. How now, do you say that Glycerium is a citizen of this place?
Cri. Do you deny it?
Sim. (ironically.) Have you come here so well prepared?
Cri. For what purpose?
Sim. Do you ask? Are you to be acting this way with impunity? Are you to be luring young men into snares here, inexperienced in affairs, and liberally brought up, by tempting them, and to be playing upon their fancies by making promises?
