  1. Hey, ---,
  2. , and not ---
Silenus
  1. Does anyone say, or does anyone know, where the cattle are?[*](From Walker’s supplements) It seems that I must begin the search. Come, all of you, track them by their scent, if there is any trace left anywhere. Bent over, crouching to the ground, be guided by the scent. Carry out your search this way and bring it to a worthy fulfilment.
Exit Silenus. The satyrs divide into two groups and begin sniffing around the stage.
Semi-chorus A
  1. Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god: aha! We seem to have it. Stand still, don’t move.
