"Menopha was wrong," he said. "How?" "Love lives by loving." "Then there is no cure for it?" "Yes. Oraetes found the cure." "What was it?" "Death." "You are a good listener, O son of Arrius." And so with conversation and stories, they whiled the hours away. As they stepped ashore, she said, "To-morrow we go to the city." "But you will be at the games?" he asked. "Oh yes."
And when Quintus Arrius, a man of praetorian dignity, recounted to them, how soldiers were collecting in companies in Etruria, and Manlius stated to be in motion with a large force, hovering about those cities, in expectation of intelligence from Rome, the senate made a decree, to place all in the hands of the consuls, who should undertake the conduct of everything, and do their best to save the state.
Myself, with the most elaborate pretence of affection and the closest daily intimacy, he treated with the most utter want of principle and the most consummate treachery, and Q. Arrius helped him in it: acting under whose advice, promises, and injunctions, I was left helpless to fall into this disaster. But this you will keep dark for fear they might injure you.
In the next letter he repeats the complaints: "Just as I am sitting down to write in comes our friend Sebosus. I had not time to give an inward groan, when Arrius says, 'Good morning. And this is going away from Rome! I will certainly be off to 'My native hills, the cradle of my race."
"By all the decent gods, I would not strain thy courtesy to the point of breaking, but now help thou me. See!" he put his hand on the dice-box again, laughing "See how close I hold the Pythias and their secret! Thou didst speak, I think, of mystery in connection with the coming of the son of Arrius. Tell me of that." "'Tis nothing, Messala, nothing," Drusus replied; "a child's story.
There are: Marcus Cerrinius Restitutus; Aulus Veius, who was several times an officer of the city; Mamia, a priestess; Marcus Porcius; Numerius Istacidius and his wife and daughter and others of his family, all in a great tomb standing on a high platform; Titus Terentius Felix, whose wife, Fabia Sabina, built his tomb; Tyche, a slave; Aulus Umbricius Scaurus, whose statue was set up in the market place to do him honor; Gaius Calventius Quietus, who was given a seat of honor at the theater on account of his generosity; Nævoleia Tyche, who had once been a slave, but who had been freed, had married, and grown wealthy and had slaves of her own; Gnæus Vibius Saturninus, whose freedman built his tomb; Marcus Arrius Diomedes, a freedman; Numerius Velasius Gratus, twelve years old; Salvinus, six years old; and many another.
Arrius surveyed the figure, tall, sinewy, glistening in the sun, and tinted by the rich red blood within surveyed it admiringly, and with a thought of the arena; yet the manner was not without effect upon him: there was in the voice a suggestion of life at least partly spent under refining influences; the eyes were clear and open, and more curious than defiant.
He flattered himself that the Romans, dazzled and amused by this apparent liberality, would be less affected by the bloody scenes which were daily exhibited; that they would forget the death of Byrrhus, a senator to whose superior merit the late emperor had granted one of his daughters; and that they would forgive the execution of Arrius Antoninus, the last representative of the name and virtues of the Antonines.
Against the wind he will carry thee till it roar in thy ears like Akaba; and he will go where thou sayest, son of Arrius ay, by the glory of Solomon! he will take thee to the lion's jaws, if thou darest so much." The harness was brought. With his own hands Ben-Hur equipped the horses; with his own hands he led them out of the tent, and there attached the reins. "Bring me Sirius," he said.
Balthasar continued his gaze. "He came well recommended," Ilderim pursued, much puzzled. "You may know him as the son of Arrius, who was a noble Roman sailor, though" the sheik hesitated, then resumed, with a laugh "though he declares himself an Israelite of the tribe of Judah; and, by the splendor of God, I believe that he tells me!" Balthasar could no longer withhold explanation.
