GNA. Then I, in return for this, Phaedria, and you, Chaerea, make him over to you[113] to be eaten and drunk to the dregs. CHÆ. Agreed. PHÆD. He quite deserves it.[114] GNA. (_calling to THRASO._) Thraso, whenever you please, step this way. THRA. Prithee, how goes it? GNA. How? {Why}, these people didn’t know you; after I had discovered to them your qualities, and had praised you as your actions and your virtues deserved, I prevailed upon them. THRA. You have managed well; I give you my best thanks. Besides, I never was any where but what all were extremely fond of me. GNA. (_to PHÆDRIA and CHÆREA._) Didn’t I tell you that he was a master of the Attic elegance? PHÆD. He is no other than you mentioned. (_Pointing to his FATHER’S house._) Walk this way. (_To the AUDIENCE._) Fare you well, and grant us your applause.

Suetonius and Donatus both inform us that it was acted with the greatest applause, and that the Poet received a larger price for it from the Ædiles than had ever been paid for any before, namely, 8000 sesterces, which is about equal to 200 crowns, which in those times was a considerable sum.”] [Footnote 19: _Acted twice_)--This probably means “twice in one day.” As it is generally supposed that something is wanting after the figures II, this is presumed to be “die,” “in one day,” in confirmation of which Suetonius informs us that it really was performed twice in one day. Donatus says it was performed three times, by which he may probably mean, twice on one day and once on another.] [Footnote 20: _Being Consuls_)--M. Valerius Messala and C. Fannius Strabo were Consuls in the year from the building of the City 591, or B.C. 162.]
