Nature
Epigram 14 (Edmonds)
Translated by J. M. Edmonds (1912) · From The Greek Bucolic Poets (Loeb, 1912)
Nature
This table makes no distinction of native and foreigner. You pay in and you receive out in strict accordance with the lie of the counters. If you want shifts and shuffles go elsewhere. You may be paid foreign money by Caicus in the dark.
