Then Eutychus gave the thugs a signal. At once four Egyptians, who were brandishing clubs, began approaching Clemens. Clemens stood firm. The street in which they were standing was deserted. The terrified shopkeepers were watching through the doors of their shops. They had all unwillingly deserted Clemens, as soon as Eutychus and the thugs arrived. Suddenly the sacred cat, which Clemens would usually pet, came out of the temple. It headed straight for Clemens. It jumped into Clemens' hands. All the Egyptians threw away their clubs at once and fell down to Clemens' feet. They would not dare harm Clemens, whom the sacred cat protected. Eutychus was in a rage, he was angry like a bull. Then the cat jumped on Eutychus, and scratched his face violently. "It is better for you to run away," said Clemens. Eutychus himself fled with the terrified thugs. Afterwards he would harm neither Clemens nor the shopkeepers. Soon he even left the city. Now Clemens is the chief of the shopkeepers.
