‘σὺ οὖν μοι,’ ἔφη, ‘πόρισον τὸ ἐλλεῖπον τοῦ ἀργυρίου, πρὶν τὰς τριάκονθ᾽ ἡμέρας παρελθεῖν, ἵνα μὴ ὅ τε ἀποδέδωκα,’ ἔφη, ‘τὰς χιλίας δραχμάς, ἀπόληται, καὶ αὐτὸς ἀγώγιμος γένωμαι. συλλέξας δ᾽,’ ἔφη, ‘τὸν ἔρανον, ἐπειδὰν τοὺς ξένους ἀπαλλάξω, σοὶ ἀποδώσω ὃ ἄν μοι χρήσῃς. οἶσθα δ᾽,’ ἔφη, ‘ὅτι καὶ οἱ νόμοι κελεύουσιν τοῦ λυσαμένου ἐκ τῶν πολεμίων εἶναι τὸν λυθέντα, ἐὰν μὴ ἀποδιδῷ τὰ λύτρα.’
