backs of each of the slaves Zadlg had
his part as well ss the rest. Setoc began
to laugh at seeing all his slaves march
with their bodies curved Zadig took the
liberty of explaining the reason TO him

eyes. Zadig seeing his surprise increased

now gave him the preference over his COM

treated him well and did not have occasion
TO repent himself of II.
Arrived In his tribe Setoc commenced by
re-demanding of a certain Hebrew five
hundred ounces of silver which he had
deposited with him In the presence of two
witnesses but meanwhile the two wit
nesses had died, and the Hebrew, knowing
there was no proof against him, denied the

his counsellor.

"He is" said setoc, "of all the bad

"Eh. well" said Zadig, "permit me to

He cited the Hebrew before the tribunal,
and he spoke thus to the Judge.

"Very willingly" assented the Judge
and be set himself to expedite other husi
