Aelius met with Theo when he just arrived and found out he would be able to read the obelisks and translate it for him  but he also told Theo that he needs to be careful and to not trust anyone after that Aelius had a group of men go to the abandoned race track obelisk to copy the text after that he headed back home to rest but told Paratus to make sure nothing is wrong after that he met with Theo to read the text and make sure it was copied correctly he said it would take some time until he could finish the translation so he said to go do something while waiting Aelius just decided to take a nap some time after that Theo came knocking on the door and said the translation was done he didn't get any valued information and was pretty much back to where he started after that he went to the city prefect to get permission he told him to do as he pleases because he would have either way Aelius went to two nameless tombs that he entered a pyramid-shaped tomb where he found a letter from Publius Aelius Handrianus saying that Antinous lies near hear after that he was attacked by a man  and struggled to fight back but he was able to defeat him and tied him up when he left he found out that Ben Matthias was there he claimed that he just happened to be passing by but it seemed kind of suspicious after that they dragged the man out that had tried to attack Aelius and it turned out to be Paratus he was the one that planned this out and he was able to enter the tomb because Aelius never responded to the guards when they asked if he was all good so he acted as if he was going to check to see if he was all right

Aelius went to meet Carminia Repentina to ask questions about Antinous and during that time he asked if there were any of Suetonius's letters to Marcius Turbo were still there she said they are here but she said he can't see them unless he stays the rest of the week he agreed to it she also said that she definitely thinks that Antinous's grave is in Rome because Marcius Turbo used to take his son on a walk in front of his burial site but she did not know where it was located and after that he and his guards were attacked by an assassin and it was the one that Paratus had met and cut his finger off he attacked Aelius injuring him and killing one of his guards and he also was permitted to dig up the obelisk by the prefect but found out that Onofrius also betrayed him and ran away so he wouldn't be able to do much he got a letter from Anubina saying thank you for the gifts after that on Aelius's first day after healing all the way met Ben Matthias, Ben Matthias told him that he arrived early because of buisness and his daughters wedding he told Aelius that his friend Gavius Tralles had died and that it wasn't him that killed him after that he met with Paratus, Paratus told Aelius that Onofrius was found stabbed to death and he also told Aelius that Ben Matthias hasn't just got to Rome he has been there for the past week

Paratus gives Aelius a list of names from aristocratic descendants from court-connected families in Hadrian's days all of them were out of Rome except for the summer but Aelius found a promising prospect on his own a widow of sentorial rank vacationing just beyond Praeneste he sent a letter to her address introducing himself and asking for an interview when he got back from Paratus's property Onofrius was waiting for him he said he was told to show up every morning after that he said that even if they can manage to get the dirt off the obelisk he is not sure if he can even translate it he said that he might not be able to because if it was done in Rome that means that it could have fake inscriptions that only look like the Egyptian language but doesn't create any real words to read after that Aelius asked Onofrius if he actually met Soter in person before he said he did and he even helped him out when Philo was away taking care of family matters Aelius asked about Serenus and he said in the time that he was working for Soter he got a ton a letters from him to file he also said that after Serenus drowned Soter quit going to community events Aelius asked if he knew of anyone in the community that would want to set Soter on fire but he didn't end up getting a good answer after that Aviola Paratus arrived to take lodgings in the old Foreign Unit Barracks because it would simplify their exchanges in the view of the investigation and provide him with protection after that he got a letter from the widow telling him to come to her place early next week after that Aelius decided to attend the trial of two relevant Christian deacons after that Aelius met Paratus by chance they talked and Paratus said that Hadrian fought against the Jews not the Persians after that they went to eat lunch after that they headed back to the barracks Aelius asked what he found out about Onofrius and he said not much just that he's a nobody wanted by neither Christians nor Egyptians
