Well, then, when I came back, having lost practically everything I had when I
sailed, I heard, and found it was true, that the plaintiff had given up the
property and that Evergus was in possession and control of what we had
purchased. I was distressed beyond words, seeing that the matter had got into an
awkward predicament; for it was now necessary for me either to enter into
partnership with Evergus for the working and management of the property, or have
him for a debtor instead of Pantaenetus, and draw up a new lease and enter into
a contract with him; and I liked neither of these alternatives.
