"Father," replied the admiral, and raising the helmet from his head, covered with brown curls, he added mournfully: "First as to these men here. It will teach you to understand the other terrible things.
This kindly disposed officer had served under Hermon's father, and when the names of the prisoners were given, and the officer reported to him that General Philippus recommended them to his care as innocent men, he had a special room opened for the sculptor and his fair guide, and ordered Crates to enter another.
My name is Philippus, and I am son to Heron, the gem-cutter." "Her brother!" screamed Caracalla, as he rushed at him, and thrusting his hand into the neck of the sick youth's chiton who already could scarcely stand upon his feet he shook him violently, crying, with a scoffing look at the high-priest: "And is this the ornament of the Museum, the free-thinker, the profound skeptic Philippus?"
The first daughter his wife bore him was named Mary, and the first boy Haschim; but she would not agree to Rustem's proposal that the second should be called Orion; she preferred to give him the name of Rufinus, and his successors were Rustem and Philippus.

In my day this house belonged to a rich man named Philippus. But stop was not he the father of our hospitable protector . . ."

In the Masdakite she had found a friend and a submissive adorer; and Philippus could rejoice as he looked at the couple, for his skill had indeed brought him nothing but credit. His greeting to them was cheery and hearty, and in answer to his enquiry: "How are you getting on?"
And as you pass by, just glance at our little garden; we grieved to see the fine old palm-tree perish; but now a young and vigorous shoot is growing from the root." "It has been drooping since yesterday and will die away," replied Philippus shrugging his shoulders. But the old man exclaimed: "Water it, Gibbus! the palm-tree must be watered at once."
