Eventually Bacchis tells Pistoclerus (who is standing nearby) that her sister is afraid that the soldier who has hired her services may enslave her and not allow her to return home at the end of her contract. She wishes that she had the money so that she could pay him to release her. Bacchis says she wants Pistoclerus to be present when the soldier arrives, and that she will give him a kiss if he does so.
In the end, Bacchis confides in Pistoclerus (who is standing nearby) that her sister is worried that the soldier who has hired her may force her into servitude and deny her permission to return home at the conclusion of her contract. She expresses a wish that she had sufficient funds so that she could pay him to set her free.
