On the helmsman answering, 'in Phanes' service, the royal boat passed on slowly. Remember, Psamtik has promised us fifty gold rings if we bring the Athenian to Sais dead or alive. This is the report of Sebek, who has been in your service seven years, O Phanes." To both these accounts Phanes listened calmly. Rhodopis trembled.
"But I have not the most remote suspicion of her; I have something quite different in my mind. A pair of man's shoes were found lying by the wounded girl. Did you do what my lord Orion ordered, Sebek?" "At once, Mistress," replied the steward, "and I have been expecting the captain of the watch for some time; for Psamtik...."
She advised Orion to put off his journey and to devote himself to his friends; but he explained that even their arrival must not delay him. He had entire confidence in Sebek and the upper housekeeper, and the emperor himself would remit the duties of hostess to a sick woman.

They are so sweet; and our little blind Helios stroked my hair because I was to go away, here just here he stroked it" and he put his hand on a perfectly bald place "and now Sebek must go and never see them all again, just as if they were all dead." And the words rolled out and with difficulty, as if carried on in the flood of his tears.
On the boatmen crying for help, the royal bark, which was following, had come up and taken the supposed Phanes on board, but had prevented the rowers from leaving their benches. They all went down with the leaking boat, the daring Sebek alone excepted. Gyges is on board the royal boat; Phanes has escaped, for that whistle must have been intended for the soldiers in ambush at the garden-gate.

When all were silent, and the porter denied the ownership, he stood thinking; then he added with a defiant glare, and in a husky voice: "Then some one who had broken into the house has been startled and dropped them. Our house-stamp is here on the leather: they were made in our work-shop, and they still smell of the stable-here, Sebek, you can convince yourself.
NEITH, the mother of SEBEK, who was also a goddess of the eastern portion of the sky. SEKHET and BAST, who are represented with the heads of a lion and a cat, and who were symbols of the destroying, scorching power of the sun, and of the gentle heat thereof, respectively. SERQ, who was a form of Isis.
Queen Arsinoe was charming, no doubt; and the Greek ruins and papyri of her day are interesting, but it is the city sacred to the crocodile god Sebek which can alone distract my thoughts now from the tragedy of the black lamb. If his Ka refuses to go I shall set crocodiles at it ghosts of crocodiles mummied somewhere under the desert hills which separate the Fayoum from the Nile Valley.
