- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘Ah! Is this the best you can do?’ said Pandarus. ‘By God, I shan’t come here any more this week, as God’s my witness, since I’m so mistrusted! I can see you care little about us, or whether we die! Oh, how wretchedly unhappy I am! If only he could survive … it doesn’t matter about me!
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 「ああ、何とかならないものかな」とパンダルスは言った。「誓って、今週はもうここに来ないぞ。神に誓って、こんなに信用されていないのだから！われわれのことをほとんど考えていないことがよく分かった。われわれの死のことも！ああ、みじめなわが身！若君さえ生き長らえてくれれば、私はどうなっても構わない。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): “呀，再没有什么希望了吗？”膨大瑞道；“天哪，我竟这样不能受人信任，这一星期中我只好不再来了；十分清楚，你根本就没有把我两人放在心上，即使死了也不足惜！呀，我真倒霉，愿他可以活得下去，我是无人过问的了。
