TRA. Boldly confess that by my advice and prompting it was done, who urged him to take up the money of the Banker upon interest, which we paid this person by way of deposit.
THEU. You've saved the whole ship. Eighty minae {1}, you say, are owing for it?
TRA. Not a coin more. THEU. He may have it to-day.
TRA. By all means so, that there may be no dispute arising; or else pay them over to me, I'll then pay them over to him.
THEU. But still, don't let there be any taking me in, if I do give them to you.
TRA. Could I venture to deceive you in deed or word even in jest only?
THEU. Could I venture not to be on my guard against you, so as not to trust anything to you?
TRA. Why, have I ever imposed upon you in anything, since I was your servant?
THEU. But I've taken good care of that; I owe thanks to myself and my own judgment for that. If I'm only on my guard against you solely, I'm quite wise enough.
TRA. (aside). I agree with you.
