Conjecture has coupled this wail of a strange fate with the human sacrifices offered at the shrine of Mithras, and has seen in Hypatus a slave and favourite of Tiberius devoted by his master to the Eastern deity; but there is no ground whatever for either of the guesses. Such as it is however the death-cry of Hypatus alone breaks the later silence of Capri.
The unfortunate queen was delivered in Besa from his hated presence, for Antinous was drowned there in the Nile. His death was surrounded by mystery. Was it accident? Was he a victim? Hadrian's humanity protects him from the suspicion that he sacrificed his victim in cold blood, as Tiberius had once sacrificed the beautiful Hypatus in Capri.
But now I stood in the first rank beside my lord! now he has left me and my parents alike of hope! I am not fifteen, I have not reached my twentieth year, and wretched I I see no more the light! My name is Hypatus; but I pray my brother and my parents to weep for wretched ones no more."
