Putting Geta by, then addressing Phormio.
Young man! permit me first to ask one question.
And, if you please, vouchsafe to answer me.
—Who was this friend of yours? Explain! and how

Phor. So! you fish for’t, as if you did not know. (Sneeringly.)
Dem. Know! I!
Phor. Aye; you.
Dem. Not I: You that maintain
I ought, instruct me how to recollect.
