Transcription: Sitting at the banquet table, Theseus took in all that he could of his father. Clearly, Aegis was a man of great honor and virtue. Many breastplates and shields, trophies taken from foes vanquished in battle, lined his hall. The customary gifts he gave to the nobles dining with him that evening were properly costly. He distributed many bronze tripods and gold cauldrons. His speech was fair, wise and courteous. He showed respect to the gods and honor to men, each in their place. Theseus was glad he had contrived the chance to see his father without first letting his father know who he was.
