Since he refused to take over the ship, and the sailors were asking for money
that they might buy supplies, I came up to him again, having witnesses with me,
and asked whether he had come out with money with the purpose of taking over the
ship from me, or not. On his replying that he had brought money with him, I
urged him to lend me some on the security of the ship's equipment, that I might
distribute it among the sailors and bring the ship home, seeing that he refused
to take over the ship, although he was my successor.
