LYSISTRATA

And I'd have staked my life the Acharnian dames Would be here first, yet they haven't come either!

CALONICE

Well anyhow there is Theagenes' wife We can expect--she consulted Hecate.

But look, here are some at last, and more behind them.

See ... where are they from?

CALONICE

From Anagyra they come.

LYSISTRATA

That's the best advice.

Ah, there comes Lampito.

_Enter_ LAMPITO.
