Thou didst an evil deed, for we had to sound the alarm in the neighborhood of the enemy." "The gods are my witnesses that I know nothing of the most worthy prince," replied the astonished Eunana. Herhor shook his head.
"I say to thee, Pentuer, that Thou thinkest too much over dangerous subjects. It is impossible to walk safely along precipices of the eastern mountains, for Thou mayst fall at any moment; or to wander through the western desert, where hungry lions are prowling, and where the raging simoom springs up unexpectedly." Meanwhile the valiant Eunana moved on in the vehicle, which only added to his pain.
And when my unworthy feet touched thy floor, O prince, I took out a gold ring, greater than that which the worthy Herhor gave Eunana, and presented it to thy slave who poured water on my fingers. With permission, worthiness, whence came that silver pitcher from which they poured the water?" "Azarias, the son of Gaber, sold it to me for two talents." "A Jew? Erpatr, dost Thou deal with Jews?
Tutmosis was alarmed and did not sleep till morning, thinking that the queen would summon him again on a sudden. The queen did not summon him, however. But during the morning review of the guard, the officer Eunana begged to speak with his chief for a moment. When they were alone in a chamber Eunana fell at the feet of Tutmosis and implored the chief not to repeat what he was going to tell him.
I would rather be a decurion, nay a simple warrior of his holiness than a centurion in priestly regiments; a pig or a dog may serve them, but not a believing Egyptian!" Eunana uttered the last words with such mad anger that the pharaoh said in Greek to Tutmosis, "Take him to the guard. An officer who does not like the priests may be of use to us."
"Holy father," said Eunana, turning to the minister, "I commend my most obedient service to thy worthiness." Barely had Eunana gone when at the end of the marching column rose a still greater tumult. They looked for the heir's litter, but it was gone. Then appeared, making his way through the Greek warriors, a youth of strange exterior.
"I give thee this ring with the name of the goddess Mut, whose favor and prudence will accompany thee to the end of thy worldly wandering, if Thou deserve it." His worthiness delivered the ring to Eunana, and those present uttered a great shout in honor of the pharaoh, and rattled their weapons.
"Eunana, Thou hast known how to be fortunate, now be manful and receive this slight remembrance as becomes an officer in the army of his holiness." Barely had the worthy Herhor finished when the officers oldest in rank placed Eunana in a commodious position at the side of the highroad.
At that instant Eunana, who was standing behind the chief, raised an axe and struck Tutmosis with all his might between the neck and the right shoulder blade, so that the blood spurted in every direction. The favorite of the pharaoh fell to the earth almost cut in two. Some of the warriors with leveled spears rushed at Eunana, but they fell after a brief struggle with their own comrades.
Nitager's scar-covered officers listened with astonishment to the ready speech of Eunana, and thought, "He will be raised above others!" "Eunana," said the minister, "Thou art not only diligent, but pious; not only pious, but watchful as an ibis over water. The gods have poured out on thee every virtue: they have given thee serpent cunning, with the eye of a falcon."
