And as the disciple of Utnapishtim stood before the seat of Utnapishtim he asked him to speak more of the sons of Arius and their great prophet and Utnapishtim answered him saying:
"Have you heard what is said of that man? Has the tale come down to you? While walking in the paradise of the kings of Anshan did he not meet the image of himself? Did you hear that he turned and bowed to it? There is in this a kind of truth, for did he not instruct all the sons of Arius, and do they not do the same? Oh ask yourself my student: is it not the mark of these men that even in paradise all they can bow to is their selves?"
Thus Spoke Utnapishtim
