It happened that Athenodorus 1 the philosopher came to Athens at this time, and, reading the bill, enquired the price.
Athenodorus in reply made a sign with his hand that it should wait a little, and threw his eyes again upon his papers; the ghost then rattled its chains over the head of the philosopher, who looked up upon this, and seeing it beckoning as before, immediately arose, and, light in hand, followed it.
Athenodorus, being thus deserted, made a mark with some grass and leaves on the spot where the spirit left him.
