I never was afraid of an imaginary nothing.

"King Euergetes and Eulaeus have bribed two hideous monsters to murder you.

When I went to seek out Irene I overheard all, and I have seen with my own eyes the two horrible wolves who are lurking to fall upon you, and heard with these ears their scheme for doing it.

I never wrote the note on the tile which was signed with my name; Eulaeus did it, and you took his bait and came out into the desert by night.

In a few minutes the ruffians will have stolen up to this place to seek their victim, but they will not find you, Publius, for I have saved you--I, Klea, whom you first met with smiles--whose sister you have stolen away--the same Klea that you a minute since were ready to threaten.
