Xenophon of Ephesus, Ephesiaca

Ἐν τούτῳ ὀλίγον διαλιπὼν ὁ Εὔδοξος ἔρχεται κομίζων θανάσιμον μὲν οὐχὶ φάρμακον, ὑπνωτικὸν δέ, ὡς μήτε τι παθεῖν τὴν κόρην καὶ αὐτὸν ἐφοδίων τυχόντα ἀνασωθῆναι. Λαβοῦσα δὲ ἡ Ἄνθεια καὶ πολλὴν γνοῦσα χάριν αὐτὸν ἀποπέμπει.

Meanwhile, after a short interval, Eudoxus comes bringing a drug, not a deadly one but a sleeping draught, so that the girl might suffer no harm and he himself, having got his travel money, might get safely home. Anthia took it and, feeling great gratitude, sent him away.
