This woman had a young sister, Glycerium, whom she kept hid from the rest. But one day, Glycerium disobeyed, her sister’s orders, and went for a -walk along the shore. There she met Pamphilus, and they fell madly in love. By the time her sister had decided to let her see the outside world by daylighc, Glycerium had to admit to Chrysis, as the Woman of Andros was called, that she was going to have Pamphilus’s child. Chrysis was dumbfounded but, as she lay on ner dying bed, agreed to let them get married. Yet Pamphilus5s parents would not hear of it, so Glycerium was sent away. A few months later Glycerium’s naid begged Pamphilus’s father to rescue her mistress from being sold as a slave. He did so, and as she was not well, took her into his home. Once they got to know her they grew to love and respect her, but it was too late, because before Pamphilus and Glycerium could get married, Glycerium and her new born baby were dead.
