"Behold the child of thy predecessor Hophra, the rightful heiress of the Egyptian throne, departing unhindered to a distant land!" "The works of the Greek temple now building in Memphis shall be discontinued." "May Isis grant us peace, and may prosperity and happiness increase in our land!"
My poor Athenian, better were it for thee, hadst thou never entered Egypt!" Long after Psamtik had left, his father continued to pace the hall in deep thought. He was sorry he had yielded; it already seemed as if he saw the bleeding Phanes lying massacred by the side of the dethroned Hophra.
But in this, as you must see yourself, the prudent Egyptians had guessed wide of the mark in their choice of a ruler; they fell from Scylla into Charybdis. If Hophra was called the Greeks' friend, Amasis must be named our lover.
This morning I had just lain down to rest after the fatigues of the night, when a servant appeared with the promised gold and a letter from the king, asking me to procure a dead child, to be buried with great ceremony as the deceased daughter of King Hophra.

Once I was known through all Egypt, though only the poor son of a captain, for my light heart, happy temper, fun and high spirits. My predecessor king Hophra sent us against Cyrene. Seized with thirst in the desert, we refused to go on; and a suspicion that the king intended to sacrifice us to the Greek mercenaries drove the army to open mutiny.
It was so small and dainty that King Hophra scoured Egypt for the owner, and when he found her at last, according to Strabo, made her his queen." "If Strabo was right, she lived long before Sappho's day!" interpolated the colonel's voice. "Of course, Strabo was right. There were two of Rhodopis. Everybody knows that.
