one of them an old man with his son, and the other a wicked black man. Those three spoke to me, and I understood from them that they had been ordered to kill me. In the evening they carried me off to a cave. God afflicted the black man among them with a shivering fever, and he put his feet on me, and the old man and his son slept! When morning came they spoke among themselves and signalled to me to go down with them to the pool, and I understood that they meant to kill me. So I spoke to the old man and tried to win him over, and he took pity on me. I cut off the sleeves of my shirt and gave them to him, so that his companions would not hold him to account for me if I escaped.
