He adds, also, that the feast named Cybernesia was in honor of them. The lot being cast, and Theseus having received out of the Prytaneum those upon whom it fell, he went to the Delphinium, and made an offering for them to Apollo of his suppliant's badge, which was a bough of a consecrated olive tree, with white wool tied about it.
III. The last part of this miracle teaches us that Christ corrects and confirms an imperfect faith by the very act of answering it. Observe how the process of cure and the discipline which followed are, in Christ's loving wisdom, made to fit closely to all the faults and flaws in the suppliant's faith. She had thought of the healing energy as independent of the Healer's knowledge and will.
It was not possible for him to overhear the suppliant's petitions, which he listened to some while in a very mingled mood of humour and pity: and it was only when his own name began to occur and to be conjoined with epithets, that he at last laid his hand on the captain's shoulder. "Sorry to interrupt the exercise," said he; "but I want you to look at the Farallone."
In the shadow, with eyes yet dazzled from the radiance of the tapers he had just extinguished, Mîtri could not make out who it was, but holding the suppliant's hands led him up to the light. "Ma sh' Allah!" he exclaimed when he identified Iskender; and holding his hands more tightly, took him to his own house.

He had come to the priest, his best friend, for advice in this dilemma, thinking that he might recommend him to a lodging. "Now may Allah house thee!" said Mîtri with a thoughtful frown.
