Adelphi · 160 BC
Act IV, Scene VIII
Translated by Henry Thomas Riley (1853)
Enter DEMEA.
I am quite tired with walking: May the great Jupiter confound you, Syrus, together with your directions! I have crawled the whole city over; to the gate, to the pond-- where not? There was no joiner’s shop there; not a soul could say he had seen my brother; but now I’m determined to sit and wait at his house till he returns.
