She struggled in their hands, and would have cried out, had not Nehushta bade her to be silent. "Where am I?" she said. "Is this the hall of death?" "Nay, lady. Wait a while, all shall be explained." While she spoke and Miriam clung to her affrighted, Ithiel struck iron and flint together.
"Perhaps this same God," answered Ithiel with a faint smile, "will deliver her from that fate, as He has delivered her from many others. Now what do you seek, my lord Marcus?" "I seek liberty, which hitherto you have refused to me, Ithiel. I must travel to Rome as fast as ships and horses can carry me. I desire to be present at that auction of the captives.
Well did Agur-the-Wise counsel Ithiel and Ucal his disciples, when he uttered in their ears before his God, this prayerful admonition, "Two things have I required of Thee; deny me them not before I die: remove far from me vanity and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches: feed me with food convenient for me.

They were removed from their office, and it was decreed that henceforth any gifts made to the child must be offered to her by the committee as a whole, and not by a single individual, and handed over in their name by Ithiel, her uncle.
"A brother of my late wife is an Essene, a kindly natured fool named Ithiel; you may have known him." "Oh, yes, I know him.
