For he it was, as it is said, who first or principally gave Latin names to phantasia, syncatathesis, epokhe, catalepsis, atomon, ameres, kenon, and other such technical terms, which, either by metaphors or other means of accommodation, he succeeded in making intelligible and expressible to the Romans.
If she goes into the garden she will at once notice that the cat is lost; whereas if you can keep her away for the day it will give us so much more time." "But if Ameres decides that you had best fly, I might on my return find that you have both gone." "Should he do so, Jethro, he will tell you the route we have taken, and arrange for some point at which you can join us.
For Ameres was no visionary; and having failed in obtaining a favorable decision as to the views he entertained, he had not striven against the tide, knowing that by doing so he would only involve himself and his family in ruin and disgrace, without forwarding in the smallest degree the opinions he held.
"This is a very serious matter," Ameres said. "After the choice of the priest of Bubastes had fixed upon Paucis to be the sacred cat of the temple of Bubastes, the greatest care and caution should have been exercised respecting an animal toward whom all the eyes of Egypt were turned.
Then came the stirring up of the people, partly by the story of that unfortunate cat, partly by whispers that Ameres, although high priest of Osiris, was yet a scorner of the gods. Then came the attack upon the house, in which, while the main body of the mob attacked Ameres, a chosen band carried off Mysa. "This villain, Ptylus, had several motives to spur him on.
But in that of course he is wrong; for it is I, not he, who has done this thing." "Amuba has done rightly," Ameres said. "We have at least time to reflect." "But I do not want to fly, father. Of what good will life be to me with this awful sin upon my head? I wonder that you suffer me to remain a moment in your presence that you do not cast me out as a wretch who has mortally offended the gods."
Ameres himself soon came out of the house, and, upon hearing that the cat was not to be found either in the garden or within, gave orders for the whole of the males of the household to sally out in the search, to inform all the neighbors what had happened, and to pray them to search their gardens. They were also to make inquiries of all they met whether they had seen a cat resembling Paucis.
May God deal with you and yours, Egyptian, even as you deal with my child." "May it be so," Chebron replied reverently. "I can tell you," Jethro said to the old man, "that in no household in Egypt could your daughter be happier than in that of Ameres. He is the lord and master of Amuba and myself, and yet, as you see, his son treats us not as servants, but as friends.
Jethro promised strictly to follow the instructions he had received, and to devote himself in case of need solely to insuring the safety of the boys. Two days later, Ameres sent Chebron and Amuba away to the farm, and told them to remain there until he sent for them. "You cannot go in and out here without unpleasantness," he said, "and had best be away.
On landing Ameres was greeted with the greatest respect by the priests all bowing to the ground, while those of inferior order knelt with their faces to the earth, and did not raise them until he had passed on. As soon as he entered the temple a procession was formed.
