“MȲSIS: Audīvī, Archylis! Jamdūdum: Lesbiam addūcī jubēs. / Sānē pol illa tēmulentast mulier et temerāria / nec satis digna cui committās prīmō partū mulierem. / Tamen eam addūcam? Importūnitātem spectāte aniculae — / quia compōtrīx ejus est! MYSIS: I heard you, Archylis! For a long time now: you’re ordering Lesbia [the midwife] to be brought. (To the audience) Truly, by god, that woman [Lesbia] is drunk and reckless, and not worthy enough for you to entrust a woman in her first childbirth. Shall I bring her anyway? Look at the impropriety of the old woman — just because she’s a drinking companion of [Archylis]! (tēmulentast = temulenta + est)”
