When he had returned he said, “Father!” And I replied, “Here I am, my child.” Then he went on to say, “Look, father, one of our own people has been murdered and thrown into the market place, and now he lies there strangled.” Then I sprang up, left the dinner before even tasting it, and removed the body[a] from the square[b] and laid it[c] in one of the rooms until sunset when I might bury it.[d] When I returned, I washed myself and ate my food in sorrow.
