He reeled backwards and stood shivering in dumb amazement. At this turn of events, Theagenes, however, came to life and felt a new optimism. He brought Knemon round from his faint and begged him to lead the way to Charikleia as quickly as he could. Knemon took a moment to collect himself and then had another look at the body. It really was Thisbe! Beside her had fallen a sword, which he recognized by its hilt; Thyamis, in the haste of his passion, had left it in the body at the time of the murder. Protruding from her breast was a writing tablet that was tucked under her arm. Knemon picked it up and tried to make out what was written on it, but Theagenes was too pressing to let him read it. "Let us rescue my beloved first," he said, "in case even now some malign power is making fun of us. There will be plenty of time to read that later."
