May I not be a partaker of the provisions bought with the mina?
ASTAPHIUM
If you wanted to be a partaker, you should have taken half home. For here an account of the receipts is entered just as at Acheron;

ASTAPHIUM
Yes, to your own house,
DINARCHUS
Aye, but here into your house.

I can, very well. Do let me try.
ASTAPHIUM
No, wait here; it’s sheer violence to try.
