But the labors of the Tenth legion, which lay a great way off these, were on the north quarter, and at the pool called Amygdalon; as was that of the Fifteenth legion about thirty cubits from it, and at the high-priest's monument.
Then, turning to Philostratus, he begged him to conduct Melissa to Euryale, the high-priest's noble wife, for she had been a kind and never-forgotten friend of his mother's. The philosopher gladly escorted the young girl to the matron, who had long been anxiously awaiting her return.
At this Melissa drew her kerchief more closely over her face; but it was a comfort to her when the soldier's wife, after describing to her what she herself had worn, added that Caracalla's choice had fallen on a modest and well-conducted maiden, for, if she had not been, the high-priest's wife would never have been so kind to her.
Ra'hel and Tahoser smiled, and the high-priest's daughter replied, "That is the very reason."

In the eyes of the Egyptians I am but a slave, and you belong to the priestly caste, the highest and most venerated.
Karnis, Orpheus and the rest of the high-priest's guests obeyed his call and gathered round him; he commanded that everything portable should be brought out of the temple to be built into a barricade behind the point of attack, and that neither the most precious and beautiful statues, nor the brass and marble stelae and altar-slabs should be spared.

"All who have legs run after the blackguard! Freedom, and five handfuls of gold for the man who brings him back." The guests at the House of Seti had already gone to rest, when Ameni was informed of the arrival of the sorceress, and he at once went into the hall, where Ani was waiting to see her; the Regent roused himself from a deep reverie when he heard the high-priest's steps.

He rose and without any word of command from his master, he silently and carefully placed on the high-priest's bare head a long and thick curled wig, and threw a leopard-skin, with its head and claws overlaid with gold-leaf, over his shoulders. A second servant held a metal mirror before Ameni, in which he cast a look as he settled the panther-skin and head-gear.
'The Sun-God, perhaps, was not so solicitous as we are for the success of his high-priest's project. Hypatia reddened was Orestes, after all laughing in his sleeve at her and her hopes? 'Do not blaspheme! she said solemnly. 'Heaven forbid! I only offer one possible explanation of a plain fact.
