Phormio · 161 BC

Act I, Scene VII

by Terence c. 195 – c. 159 BC

Translated by Henry Thomas Riley (1853)


DEMIPHO, alone.

DEM. (to himself.) I’ll just step home to salute the household Gods. From there, I’ll go to the Forum, and summon some of my friends to give me their assistance in this affair; so that I may not be unprepared, when Phormio comes. (Goes into his house.)
