ten in the evening
At eight o'clock next morning Phut of Harran returned to the Phoenician inn `` Under the Ship '' to which his bags and casket stolen by thieves had been returned safely . A few minutes later came Asarhadon 's confidential servant , whom the innkeeper took to the cellar and examined briefly , `` Well ? '' `` I was all night on the square where the temple of Set is , '' answered the servant . `` At ten in the evening out of the garden which lies about four places farther than the house of the ` Green Star , ' came three priests . One of them , with black beard and hair , turned his steps through the square toward the temple of Set . I ran after him , but mist fell , and he vanished from my eyes . Whether he returned to the ` Green Star ' or when , I know not . ''
