You must know, Bartja, that my family has an hereditary right to carry the torches at the Eleusinian mysteries and we are therefore called Daduchi or torch-bearers. Ho, slave! see that the door of the andronitis is hung with flowers, and tell your comrades to meet us with a shower of sweetmeats as we enter.
Soft dusk and quiet proved that the doors of Amaryllis had been shut upon unhappy Jerusalem. The second servant drew a cord and a roller of matting lifted and showed a skylight. Philadelphus the pretender was in the andronitis of a Greek house. It was typical. None but a Greek with the purest taste had planned it. Walls and pavement were of unpolished marble, lusterless white.
The good old Knakias, our faithful slave, just reached the door as all the bolts gave way, and, rushing through the entrance-hall into the peristyle, the andronitis, and so on to us, crashing the door between, came a troop of soldiers.
As the master was at the market, the strangers were led by the steward, an old servant grown grey in the service of Theopompus, into the Andronitis, and begged to wait there until he returned.

She turned from him and would have hurried back into the Greek's andronitis, but he put himself in her way. "Listen!" he said, suddenly lifting his hand. In the stillness which she finally was able to observe over the tumultuous beating of her enraged heart, a profound moan of great volume as from immense but remote struggle came into the corridor.
"Neither can we allow the niece of the greatest of Hymen's poets to be married without the sound of song and music. The young husband's house is, to be sure, too far off for our purpose, so we will suppose that the andronitis is his dwelling. Homer, Odyss. Besides which, after the bath, which both bride and bridegroom were obliged to take, she was anointed with sweet-smelling essences. Thucyd.

I am your minister; you need no other. More than the one would be multiplying chances for betrayal." "And what wilt thou have out of all this for thyself?" he asked. Slowly she turned her face back to him. "I would have it said that I made a king," she said. There was a step in the corridor leading into the andronitis, and, smiling, Amaryllis rose.
"Because," she answered, "John of Gischala may yet be king of Judea and John hath a queen's diadem for sale at two hundred talents or a heart which I can have for nothing." There was malevolent and impotent silence in the andronitis of Amaryllis, the Greek. They who stood on the wall by the Tower of Psephinos in Coenopolis of Jerusalem on a day in March, 70 A.D., saw prophecy fulfilled.
