Meanwhile the ship passed by Cos and Cnidus, and already the great and beautiful island of Rhodes was coming into view; here they all had to disembark, for the sailors said that they had to take on water and rest in preparation for the long voyage ahead.
So the ship put into Rhodes, and the sailors disembarked; Habrocomes too came off, hand in hand with Anthia. All the Rhodians gathered, amazed at the young people's beauty, and no one who saw them passed by in silence: some said that it was a visitation of auspicious gods; some offered them worship and adoration; and soon the names of Habrocomes and Anthia had traveled all through the city. Public prayers were offered to them; the Rhodians offered many sacrifices and celebrated their visit as a festival. So they toured the whole city and gave as an offering to the temple of Helius a gold panoply and inscribed on a votive tablet an epigram with the donors' names.
The strangers offered you these weapons of beaten gold,
Anthia and Habrocomes, citizens of holy Ephesus.
– Xenophon of Ephesus, from An Ephesian Tale (2nd century AD), translated from Greek by Graham Anderson (1989)
