PHIL. The Polyplusian {7}; which one family is flourishing there, and held in highest esteem.
HEG. What is he himself? In what esteem is he held there?
PHIL. In the highest, and that by the very highest men.
HEG. Since, then, he is held in such great respect among the Eleans, as you tell of, what substance has he?—Of large amount?
PHIL. Enough for him, even, when an old man, to be melting out the tallow {8}
HEG. What is his father? Is he living? PHIL, When we departed thence, we left him alive; whether he's living now or not, Orcus, forsooth, must know that.
TYND. (aside). The matter's all right; he's not only lying, but he's even philosophizing now.
HEG. What's his name? PHIL. Thesaurochrysonicocroesides {9}.
HEG. That name has been given, I suppose, by reason of his wealth, as it were.
PHIL. Troth, not so, but rather by reason of his avarice and grasping disposition; for, indeed, he was Theodoromedes originally by name.
