§ 43 The twenty-first sign. The gold taken by the thief is lost.

1 Having put a little distance between himself and Barsauma, the thief placed his shoulder-bag on the ground and stood there, remonstrating with his loot: “Gold, you murderer and deceiver!” he cried. “What wrong have I done to you that you have separated me from the monastery of the angels? You have hanged yourself around my neck like the noose around Iscariot’s windpipe.”61

2 While that man was standing and weeping for his soul, the shoulder-bag was swallowed up in front of his very eyes and was nowhere to be found. Then that man turned back and fell at the feet of Barsauma, weeping, and told him what had happened. When Barsauma had satisfied himself that the gold was gone, he released that man from the curse; but still he drove him out from his company.
