All cases of ague are cases of a certain kind. Therefore it is best in all cases to give the patient water." Philotas having propounded his argument in this way, challenged the physician to point out the fallacy of it; and while the physician sat perplexed and puzzled in his attempts to unravel the intricacy of it, the company enjoyed a temporary respite from his excessive loquacity.
And Philotas, now completely sobered, described with increasing animation the wonderful change that had taken place in the quiet Caesarion, as if some magic spell had been at work; for scarcely had the revellers greeted Antyllus's words with shouts of joy, declaring themselves ready to avenge insulted youth upon Barine, than the "King of kings" suddenly sprang from the cushions on which he had listlessly reclined, and with flashing eyes shouted that whoever called himself his friend must aid him in the attack.
His love and respect were hers alone; yet she saw in him a soul-sick man, and persistently rejected Philotas, who wooed her with the same zeal as before, and the other suitors who were striving to win the wealthy heiress.
The power which delivered him over to death just at that moment was not Nemesis no, it was a kindly deity. Only his heart grew heavy at the thought of leaving Daphne to the tireless wooer Philotas or some other everything else from which it is usually hard to part seemed like a burden that we gladly cast aside.
One thing was undeniably certain: whoever won her for a wife even though she were the poorest of the poor must be numbered among the most enviable of men. And should he not recognise in his aversion to every one of her suitors, and now to the aristocratic young Philotas, a feeling which resembled jealousy? No! He did not and would not love Daphne.
Alexander becomes dissipated. His officers became estranged. Character of Parmenio. His services to Alexander. Parmenio's son, Philotas. His dissolute character. Conspiracies. Plot of Dymnus. Dymnus destroys himself. Philotas suspected. The council of officers. Philotas accused. Arrest of Philotas. The body of Dymnus. Alexander's address to the army. Philotas brought to trial. Defense of Philotas.
She must love him, and it seemed as if this conviction awoke a new star of happiness in his troubled soul. If Philotas imagined that he could pluck the daughter of Archias like a ripe fruit from a tree, he would find himself mistaken.
Philotas and Myrtilus were following Daphne and her companion Chrysilla as they hurried into the tent.
"Memphis had opened her gates to Antiochus without offering much resistance, and the Syrian king, who was a strange man and was fond of mixing among the people as if he himself were a common man, applied to Philotas, who was as familiar with Egyptian manners and customs as with those of Greece, in order that he might conduct him into the halls of justice and into the market-places; and he made him presents as was his way, sometimes of mere rubbish and sometimes of princely gifts.
But, during a long bachelor career in Alexandria, a city ever gracious to the gifts of Bacchus, Gorgias had become familiar with attacks like those of Philotas and their treatment, and after several jars of water had been brought and he had been left alone a short time with the sufferer, the philosopher secretly rejoiced that he had not summoned the grey-haired leech into the stormy night for Gorgias led forth his pupil with dripping hair, it is true, but in a state of rapid convalescence.
