CHORUS
You will not be cheated as to the value of wares, you will not again see Prepis¹ wiping his foul rump, nor will Cleonymus² jostle you; you will take your walks, clothed in a fine tunic, without meeting Hyperbolus³ and his unceasing quibblings,

1 A debauchee of vile habits; a pathic.

2 Mentioned above; he was as proud as he was cowardly.

3 An Athenian general, quarrelsome and litigious, and an Informer into the bargain.
