to one he gave twelve hundred pounds, to another five hundred, and to another two hundred and fifty; each got according to his capacity. Then the man went abroad.

But the servant who had got the two hundred and fifty pounds went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master's money.

Then the servant who had got the two hundred and fifty pounds came forward. He said, 'I knew you were a hard man, sir, reaping where you never sowed and gathering where you never winnowed.

So I was afraid; I went and hid your two hundred and fifty pounds in the earth. There's your money!'

Take therefore the two hundred and fifty pounds away from him, give it to the servant who had the twelve hundred.

He summoned two of the officers and said, "Get ready by nine o'clock to-night two hundred infantry to march as far as Caesarea, also seventy troopers, and two hundred spearmen."

And the number of the troops of their cavalry was two hundred millions (I heard what was their number).
