But a little later the gap betwixt the sea-mouse and the penteconter had so dwindled that even the master’s inborn thrift began to yield to prudence. “Hark you, Hib,” he cried from the helm. “Take Adherbal and Lars the Etruscan. It’s a good ten furlongs to that cursed galley still, but we must have those prisoners ready on deck. Over they go if the chase gets a bit closer.”
On reaching his house he made a will, bequeathing all he possessed to the grandson of his old servant Hib, and, alleging that he was ill, went to bed. The next morning he was found dead. He had poisoned himself with the fearful strychnos-juice." "Miserable man" said Croesus. "The gods had blinded him, and he reaped despair instead of revenge, as a reward for his treachery."
Southerly the statue of King George II. in the habiliment of a Caesar, wreathed on the head, and a battoon or truncheon in his hand, little differing from that of Charles II. in the centre of the area, only in looking northward; inscribed Georgius II.

Though he had known Phanes in Sais, he received him with cold politeness, and, after the first greeting was ended, told Hib to leave them alone. "I have come to you," said the Athenian, "to speak about some very important affairs." "With which I am already acquainted," was the Egyptian's curt reply. "I am inclined to doubt that," said Phanes with an incredulous smile.
When Phanes had finished, he gave him a penetrating look and said: "Where are my papers?" They are in Onuphis' hands. He is looking among them for the document I want." "I expected to hear that. Be so good as to tell me what the box is like, which Hib thought proper to bring over to Persia?" "It is a small ebony trunk, with an exquisitely-carved lid.

Of course I got angry and did not use very civil words to them you know that's my way when I'm put out and what does that bit of a fellow do by our god Thoth, the protector of knowledge who must know all, I'm speaking the truth but order them to bind my hands, forbid me me, old Hib to speak, and then tell me that he had been told by the high-priest to order me five-and-twenty strokes, if I refused to do his bidding.

The Greek suppressed a smile of satisfaction, and did not even raise his eyes from the ground, but continued speaking: "Well, now we must bring the travelling adventures of good old Hib to a close.
Very well, then go and leave poor old Hib here to die. I can't possibly live another hour among these creatures." "What would you have me do then?" "Let me live with you as long as we are in Persia."
