Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Greek slave A lexis who had let fall the golden cup of his master, and the cup, falling on the marble floor, was dinted in three places. Therefore two gigantic Nubians were ordered to strip the slave, and to beat him with leathern thongs that were studded with small bronze buttons. And when this was done, it seemed that A lexis was dead, for he was slender and delicate and very young. His master, therefore, bade the Nubians carry the bruised and naked body out of his sight; and they bore it a certain distance along the public highway, and flung it down where the road passes by a wood. Their lustrous black limbs and green turbans gleamed strangely in the fierce sunshine, so that all the birds that had been singing became mute at the same moment, and the zephyr held its breath.
