“MERCVRIVS: Quis erus est igitur tibī? SOSIA: Amphitruō, quī nunc praefectust Thēbānīs legiōnibus, quīcum nūpta est Alcumēna. MERCVRIVS: Quid aīs?! Quid nōmen tibī est? SOSIA: Sōsiam vocant Thēbānī[…] MERCVRIVS: Tūn' tē audēs Sōsiam esse dīcere, quī ego sum? MERCURY: Who's your master then? SOSIA: Amphitryon, who is now in command of the Theban forces, to whom Alcmena is married. MERCURY: You what?! What's your name? SOSIA: The Thebans call me Sosia […]”

MERCURY: You dare say that you're Sosia, which is me?

“(after talking to himself) Sed quid aīs, quō inde īstī porrō?”

THAIS: Ita mē dī ament honestust.”

THAIS: God bless me he's handsome. PARMENO: What do you say, Gnatho? Do you see anything to find fault with? And what say you, Thraso? They're speechless, which is praise enough. Test him on literature, athletics, music; I'll warrant him well skilled in everything a gentleman should know.
