Rhadamanthos

Enough already of witnesses! But strip him of his purple, too, so that we may know how many brand-marks he has. Dear me, he is perfectly livid and covered with marks, or, rather, he is black and blue with them. Now, how should he be punished? Shall we cast him into the fiery stream or hand him over to Kerberos?

Kyniskos

Not at all, but, with your permission, I will suggest a new and fitting punishment for him.

p.142
Rhadamanthos

Speak; I shall be deeply grateful to you.

Kyniskos

It is the custom, I believe, for all, when they die, to drink of the water of Lethe.

Rhadamanthos

Certainly.

Kyniskos

Then let him alone of all men have no taste of it?
