[75]
If Phormio had been poor, and it
had been our fortune to be wealthy, and if, in the course of nature, anything
had happened to me, this fellow's sons would have claimed my daughters in
marriage—the sons of the slave would have claimed the daughters of the
master! For they are their uncles, since the man married my mother; but seeing
that it is we who are poor, he will not help to portion them off, but he talks
and talks, and reckons up the amount of property which I possess.
