CHAPTER I
4/10

Apollodorus forced a whole talent of the yellow curse upon me for painting his men's room.

The sailor's cap, into which I tossed it with the rest, will burst when Seleukus pays me for the portrait of his daughter; and if a thief robs you, and me too, we need not fret over it.

My brush and your stylus will earn us more in no time.

And what are our needs?
