Rheou. I know. Satni declares he could have healed all whom the goddess has relieved.
Mieris [to herself] He relieves even those women whom she abandons—[After a pause] He must teach you the words that work these miracles.
Rheou. He refuses.
Mieris. Force him!
Rheou. He says there are none.
Mieris. Threaten him with death—he will speak.
Rheou. No.
Mieris [with excitement] But you do not understand me!—he has healed Ahmarsti, he has healed Kitoui, wherefore should he not heal me?
Rheou [sadly] Ah! Mieris, Mieris, think you I waited for your prayer, to ask him that?
Mieris. Well—Well—?
