§745An etiam id tu scis?
Do you even know that?
Since indeed I heard from you how you captured the greatest city and killed King Pterela yourself.
§747Egone istuc dixi?
Did I say that?
§747bTute istic, etiam adstante hoc Sosia.
You yourself, while this Sosia was also standing by.
§748Audivistin tu me narrare haec hodie?
Did you hear me tell these things today?
§748bVbi ego audiverim?
Where would I have heard it?
§749Hanc roga.
Ask this woman.
§749bMe quidem praesente numquam factum est, quod sciam.
At least in my presence it never happened, as far as I know.
§750Mirum quin te adversus dicat.
Strange indeed if he does not speak against you.
§750bSosia, age me huc aspice.
Sosia, come, look here at me.
§751Specto.
I am looking.
§751bVera volo loqui te, nolo adsentari mihi.
I want you to speak the truth, I do not want you to flatter me.
§752audivistin tu hodie me illi dicere ea quae illa autumat?
Did you hear me today tell her those things which she claims?
§753Quaeso edepol, num tu quoque etiam insanis, quom id me interrogas, §754qui ipsus equidem nunc primum istanc tecum conspicio simul?
By Pollux, I ask you, are you also now insane, when you ask me that, I who myself now for the first time see her together with you?
§755Quid nunc, mulier? audin illum?
What now, woman? Do you hear him?
§755bEgo véro, ac falsum dicere.
Indeed I do, and that he is telling a lie.
§756Neque tu illi neque mihi viro ipsi credis?
Do you believe neither him nor me, your husband himself?
That is because I believe myself most of all, and I know those things happened just as I tell them.
§758Tun me heri advenisse dicis?
Do you say that I arrived yesterday?
§758bTun te abiisse hodie hinc negas?
Do you deny that you departed from here today?
§759Nego enim vero, et me advenire nunc primum aio ad te domum.
Indeed I deny it, and I say that I am arriving home to you now for the first time.
§760Obsecro, etiamne hoc negabis, te auream pateram mihi §761dédisse dono hodié, qua te illi donatum esse dixeras?
I entreat you, will you also deny this, that you gave me a golden bowl as a gift today, with which you said you had been presented there?
§762Neque edepol dedi neque dixi; verum ita animatus fui §763itaque nunc sum, ut ea te patera donem.
By Pollux, I neither gave it nor said so; but I was so minded and so I am now, to present you with that bowl.
sed quis istúc tibi §764dixit?
But who told you that?
Indeed I heard it from you and received the bowl from your hand.
§765bMane, mane, obsecro te.
Wait, wait, I entreat you.
nimis demiror, Sosia, §766qui illaec illic me donatum esse aurea patera sciat, §767nisi tu dudum hanc convenisti et narravisti haec omnia.
I wonder exceedingly, Sosia, how she knows that I was presented there with a golden bowl, unless you met her a little while ago and told her all these things.
§768Neque edepol ego dixi neque istam vidi nisi tecum simul.
By Pollux, I neither told her nor saw her except together with you.
§769Quid hoc sit hominis?
What kind of man is this?
§769bVin proferri pateram?
Do you want the bowl to be brought out?
§769cProferri volo.
I want it to be brought out.
§770Fiat.
Let it be done.
heus tu, Thessala, intus pateram proferto foras, §771qua hódie meus vir donavit me.
Hey you, Thessala, bring the bowl out from inside, with which my husband presented me today.
§771bSecede huc tu, Sosia, §772enim vero illud praeter alia mira miror maxime, §773si haec habet páteram illam.
Step aside here, Sosia, for indeed, above other wonders, I wonder at this most of all, if she has that bowl.
Do you still believe that, which is carried in this little chest sealed with your seal?
§774bSalvom signum est?
Is the seal safe?
§774cInspice.
Look at it.
§775Recte, ita est ut obsignavi.
Right, it is just as I sealed it.
I ask you, why don't you order her to be carried around as a lunatic?
By Pollux, indeed there is need of that doing; for indeed, by Pollux, she is full of evil spirits.
§777bQuid verbis opust?
What need is there of words?
§778em tibi pateram, eccam.
Here is the bowl for you, behold it.
§778bCedo mi.
Give it to me.
Come, look here now, if you please, you who deny what has been done; whom I will now publicly convict here.
§780estne haec patera, qua donatu's illi?
Is this the bowl with which you were presented there?
O supreme Jupiter, what do I see? This is indeed that bowl.
perii, Sosia.
I am ruined, Sosia.
Either, by Pollux, this woman is by far the greatest sorceress, or the bowl must be in here.
§783bAgedum, exsolve cistulam.
Come now, open the little chest.
§784Quid ego istam exsolvam? obsignatast recte, res gesta est bene:
Why should I open it?
§785tu peperisti Ámphitruonem, ego alium peperi Sosiam; §786nunc si patera pateram peperit, omnes congeminavimus.
It is sealed correctly, the matter is well done: you have given birth to another Amphitruo, I have given birth to another Sosia; now if a bowl has given birth to a bowl, we have all doubled.
§787Certum est aperire atque inspicere.
It is resolved to open and inspect it.
Please see what kind of seal it is, lest you later cast the blame on me.
Only open it; for indeed she demands by her words to make us raving.
§790Vnde haec igitur est nisi abs te quae mihi dono data est?
Where is this from then, which was given to me as a gift, if not from you?
§791Opus mi est istuc exquisito.
There is need for me to investigate that.
§791bIuppiter, pro Iuppiter.
Jupiter, oh Jupiter!
§792Quid tibi est?
What is the matter with you?
§792bHic patera nulla in cistulast.
There is no bowl here in the little chest.
§792cQuid ego audio?
What do I hear?
§793Id quod verúmst.
What is true.
§793bAt cum cruciatu iam, nisi apparet, tuo.
But with your torture indeed, unless it appears.
§794Haec quidem apparet.
This one indeed appears.
§794bQuis igitur tibi dedit?
Who then gave it to you?
§794cQui me rogat.
Alcumena: He who asks me.
