Your face is radiant, Nevita;—what good tidings do you bring?
Nevita.
The best and happiest indeed. A great company of envoys from princes in furthest India have come to bring you gifts, and to entreat your friendship.
Julian.
Ah, tell me,—to what peoples do they belong?
Nevita.
To the Armenians, and other races beyond the Tigris. Indeed, some of the strangers aver they come from the islands of Diu and Serandib.
Julian.
From the uttermost verge of the earth my friends!
Themistius.
