Meanwhile Melissa remained behind in the audience-chamber. She must obey Caesar's command.
Finally, he promised her that he would question the painter, and, if possible, be gracious to him. He again clapped his hands, and ordered a freedman named Epagathos, who was one of his favorite body-servants, to send immediately for Alexander from the prison.
