he_o resolve_v to_o confess_v unto_o heracleon_n that_o timareta_n be_v the_o daughter_n of_o amasis_n conceive_v it_o be_v that_o which_o he_o principal_o desire_v for_o traseas_n be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o quick_a wit_n and_o spirit_n enough_o and_o know_v that_o the_o king_n when_o he_o be_v in_o the_o isle_n say_v if_o he_o have_v a_o daughter_n he_o will_v marry_v she_o unto_o heracleon_n he_o

the_o daughter_n of_o amasis_n so_o he_o resolve_v also_o not_o to_o discover_v that_o sesostris_n be_v the_o son_n of_o apriez_n for_o it_o be_v a_o horror_n unto_o his_o conscience_n to_o deliver_v the_o son_n of_o his_o legitimate_a king_n unto_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o usurper_n who_o perhaps_o world_n put_v he_o to_o death_n so_o after_o he_o have_v well_o consult_v with_o himself_o and_o see_v heracleon_n multiply_v both_o promise_n and_o threaten_n sir_n say_v he_o unto_o he_o if_o you_o will_v solemn_o swear_v that_o you_o will_v save_v my_o life_n i_o shall_v confess_v all_o i_o know_v and_o as_o much_o perhaps_o as_o you_o desire_v to_o know_v heracleon_n then_o swear_v unto_o he_o traseas_n confess_v that_o timareta_n be_v the_o king_n daughter_n add_v that_o sesostris_n be_v

find_v the_o king_n a_o son_n than_o a_o daughter_n but_o say_v heracleon_n unto_o he_o it_o appear_v sesostris_n pass_v for_o the_o son_n of_o amenophis_n and_o not_o as_o you_o and_o you_o confess_v as_o much_o to_o the_o king_n it_o be_v very_o true_a sir_n reply_v traseas_n bold_o the_o better_a to_o colour_v his_o lie_n but_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o when_o the_o contagion_n do_v almost_o
