And so, Theagenes and Charikleia, crowned with their white miters, invested with holy office, offered the sacrifice with their own hands, and the omens were good. Then, by the light of torches, to the melody of flute and pipe, they rode into Meroe, Theagenes beside Hydaspes in a chariot drawn by horses, Sisimithres in a second beside Charikleia, Charikleia with Persinna in a carriage pulled by white oxen. The people cheered and clapped and danced as they escorted them into the city, where the more mystic parts of the wedding ritual were to be performed with greater magnificence.
So concludes the Aethiopica, the story of Theagenes and Charikleia, the work of a Phoenician from the city of Emesa, one of the clan of Descendants of the Sun, Theodosius's son, Heliodorus.
– Heliodorus, from The Aethiopica, or, Theagenes and Charikleia (3rd or 4th century AD), translated from Greek by J.R. Morgan (1989)
