Ah, here we have the good Caesarius,—numerously accompanied, and with a face that betokens urgent business.

Caesarius.

Most gracious Emperor, will you permit your servant to ask a question, in his own name, and that of these much disquieted men?

Julian.

Ask, my dearest Caesarius! Are you not my beloved Gregory’s brother? Ask, ask!

Caesarius.

Tell me, then, sire——[He observes Hekebolius.] What do I see! Hekebolius here?

Julian.

Newly returned——

Caesarius.
