The Mysterious Pearl Man Lithargoel

17	A man came out wearing a cloth bound around his waist, and a gold belt girded it.	11
18	Also a napkin was tied over his chest, extending over his shoulders and covering his head and his hands.	11
19	I was staring at the man, because he was beautiful in his form and stature.	11
20	There were four parts of his body that I saw: the soles of his feet and a part of his chest and the palms of his hands and his visage.	11
21	These things I was able to see.	11
22	A book cover like (those of) my books was in his left hand.	11
23	A staff of styrax wood was in his right hand.	11
25	I, indeed, thought he was a man of that city.	11
38	He, for his part, did not reveal himself to them.	11
54	He said to the man who sells this pearl, "I want to know your name and the hardships of the way to your city because we are strangers and servants of God.	11
82	I hurried and went and called my friends so that we might go to the city that he, Lithargoel, appointed for us.	11
91	As we discussed the robbers on the road, whom we evaded, behold Lithargoel, having changed, came out to us.	11
92	He had the appearance of a physician, since an unguent box was under his arm, and a young disciple was following him carrying a pouch full of medicine.	11
96	But I am amazed at how you knew this good man.	11
