putting the legions of the foe to flight and being presented
with prizes galore.

ea dona, quae illic Amphitruoni sunt data,
abstulimus: facile meus pater quod volt facit.
nunc hodie Amphitruo veniet huc ab exercitu 140
et servos, cuius ego hanc fero imaginem.

The prizes Amphitryon did receive there we stole--things
my father fancies do come easy to him! Now Amphitryon
will return from the army to-day, and the slave I am
representing, too.

nunc internosse ut nos possitis facilius,
ego has habebo usque in petaso pinnulas;
tum meo patri autem torulus inerit aureus
sub petaso: id signum Amphitruoni non erit.
ea signa nemo horum familiarium
videre poterit: verum vos videbitis.

To make it easier for you to tell us apart I shall always
wear this little plume on my hat: yes, and as for my father
he will have a little gold tassel hanging from his:
Amphitryon will not have this mark. They are marks that
none of the household here will be able to see, but you
will.

sed Amphitruonis illic est servos Sosia:
a portu illic nunc cum lanterna advenit.
abigam iam ego illum advenientem ab aedibus. 150
