Besides, he found nothing to object to in his opinion of his companions, so he turned to Eulaeus and said courteously: "Accept my best thanks for your company so far, and do not let me detain you any longer from your more important occupations on my account." Eulaeus bowed and replied, "I know what my duty is.
Publius ordered that he should be admitted, and the negro handed him the tile on which Eulaeus had treacherously written Klea's invitation to meet her at midnight near the Apis-tombs.
You have been talking with Eulaeus to-day; Eulaeus, who fears and hates Publius, and it seems to me that you have hatched some conspiracy against him; but if you dare to cast a single stone in his path, to touch a single hair of his head, I will show you that even a weak woman can be terrible. Nemesis and the Erinnyes from Alecto to Megaera, the most terrible of all the gods, are women!"
When I went to seek out Irene I overheard all, and I have seen with my own eyes the two horrible wolves who are lurking to fall upon you, and heard with these ears their scheme for doing it. I never wrote the note on the tile which was signed with my name; Eulaeus did it, and you took his bait and came out into the desert by night.

"My sister," answered Euergetes, shrugging his shoulders, "was only yesterday singing the praises of your uncultured plainness of speech; but to-day it is your pleasure to speak in riddles like an Egyptian oracle." "They cannot, however, be difficult to solve by you and your minions," replied Publius coldly, as he pointed to Eulaeus.
I cannot bear this haughty ungracious fellow, but I will invite him tomorrow morning nay I will invite him to-day, to a festive entertainment, and send him the four handsomest horses that I have brought with me from Cyrene. I will " "It will all be in vain," said Eulaeus calmly and dispassionately.
"Have you hired murderers to kill my friend this noble guest of our royal house because he threatened to bring your crimes to light?" "Mercy!" whimpered Eulaeus sinking on his knees before the king.
At last she dried her eyes, and said: "Go down-the guests are waiting." "Immediately, my love," replied Philometor. "But one thing I must tell you, for I know that it will arouse your sympathy. The Roman read to you the petition for pardon for Philotas, the chief of the Chrematistes and 'relative of the king, which contains such serious charges against Eulaeus.
"But those who come only to pray in the temple," interrupted the other, "do not as it seems to me choose an Eulaeus for a companion, or any such couple as those now waiting for you under the acacias, and invoking anything rather than blessings on your head; at any rate, for my own part, even if I were a thief I would not go stealing in their company. What then brought you to Serapis?"
