Knemon's plan met with their approval, and they decided to act upon it. They could already see the first glimmers of dawn, so they hurried back to the mouth of the cave, where they found Thermouthis sound asleep. They woke him and told him as much of their intentions as they thought he should know; he was a rather gullible individual, and they had no difficulty in convincing him. They laid Thisbe's body in a hole and, in place of earth, sprinkled ash from the huts over her. For piety's sake they performed the customary offices as best the occasion allowed, offering tears and mourning in place of all the proper funeral sacrifices. Then they sent Thermouthis off on the errand they had planned for him, but after a few steps he turned back and refused to go by himself or to undertake such a dangerous reconnaissance unless Knemon was prepared to accompany him on this mission. Knemon's dismay as he reported the Egyptian's words was all too plain, and Theagenes could see that he had no stomach for the task.
