And the Prince said to him, "Where hast thou found those ancient coins they speak of?" "Sire," replied Jemlikha, "I carried them yesterday from this city; but in one night Ephesus has taken so different a form that I no longer know it: all whom I have met, all whom I see, are unknown to me, and yet I was born in this city, and I cannot express the confusion of my mind."
It appeared so dreadful that no one had courage to enter it. It is said, however, that the King resolved to do it that he saw the companions of Jemlikha but that it was at the very moment of his entering it that Jemlikha gave up the ghost, with the six others and the little dog.
"A man," says he, "who cannot disengage himself from a fly, can he have power over the works of nature?" Then he related the adventure of the fly. "But if our King is not a god," said they to him, "whom then are we to adore?" Jemlikha told them what he thought, and they were so far persuaded of it, that from that day they joined with him every night in prayer.
Jemlikha was one whom he most favoured, nature having endowed him with all her charms: his words were sweeter than the honey of Arabia, and his wit sparkling and agreeable; in a word, this young man united in himself all perfections. Their employments engaged both him and his companions to pay that homage to Dakianos which was due to God alone.
Jemlikha, with much labour, made himself a passage through the ruins of this thick wall, followed the road to the city, and remarked over the gate a standard, upon which was written, "There is no other god but the true God." He was astonished to find that one night had produced so great a change. "Is not this a vision?" said he. "Do I awake, or do I feel the illusions of a dream?"
