“
[30]
They searched
the father and found gold in his pockets. They
pursued their journey and found the general crucified. He cried to them, ' Beware of the traitor.'
The father is accused.” What points are admitted
by both parties? “We were told that there had
been treason and told it by the general.” We try
to find the traitor. “You admit that you went to the
enemy, that you did so by stealth, that you returned
unscathed, that you brought back gold and had it
concealed about your person.”
