Translation

But now [already] the children are hungry. And Philip sees a sausage-seller pushing through the crowd and shouting his goods. And so he calls his father and says: Dear father, look, a sausage-seller is approaching. Do you not want to buy food? For we are very hungry." And so Dikaiopolis calls the sausage-seller and buys food. So they seat themselves [make themselves comfortable] thus in the colonnade eating sausages and drinking wine.
