Ill FOUBTH EPISODE. TALE OP THE ROBBER. So soon as we had arrived in the seven-gated city of Thebes, as is the usual practice of our profession, we diligently made inquiries relating to. the property of the inhabitants. Accordingly we heard of a certain banker, called Chryseros, who had the reputation of possessing a great deal of money, though, for fear of being appointed in consequence of his wealth to various offices and civil duties, he did all that lay in his power to conceal his treasure ...and make people believe he was poor. Dirty in his person and dressed in rags, he occupied a house which though small was strongly barred and bolted notwithstanding, and there, living in silence and solitude, he sat like a hen upon her nest, brooding all day over his money-bags. The house of this banker we determined to attack, imagining we should be able to possess ourselves of all his riches without difficulty or interruption ; and as the resistance of one single pair of arms was a matter of little consideration, we made no preparation for the enterprise otherwise than to assemble ourselves one evening all together at his door at nightfall.
