Agis, then, on his way to the halter, saw one of the officers shedding tears of sympathy for him. My man, said he, cease weeping; for even though I am put to death in this lawless and unjust manner, I have the better of my murderers. And saying these words, he offered his neck to the noose without hesitation.

But Amphares went to the door of the prison, where Agesistrata fell at his feet in an appeal to his friendship and intimacy. Amphares lifted her up and assured her that Agis was not to suffer violence or death; and he bade her, if she wished, go in to her son. And when Agesistrata begged that her mother might go in with her, Amphares said there was nothing to prevent.
