By now he was even sending men abroad to create rumours in the different nations in regard to the oracle and to say that he made predictions, discovered fugitive slaves, detected thieves and robbers, caused treasures to be dug up, healed the sick, and in some cases had actually raised the dead. So there was a hustling and a bustling from every side, with sacrifices and votive offeringsand twice as much for the prophet and disciple of the god. For this oracle also had come out:

Honour I bid you to give my faithful servant, the prophet;
No great store do I set upon riches, but much on the prophet.
v.4.p.209
