Translation Results Requested Through Conyac Made Public

When Nicolaus came there, they begged him to persuadeHerodes to be their helper and their champion. Nicolaus very readily agreed, because of the good reputation of the city. He took their plea to the king, and explained the situation, how Agrippa had been wrong to be angry with them, when he had not warned them that he was sending his wife there, and she travelled during the night, which made it impossible to see her approaching. In the end, the king agreed to take up their case, and through his efforts the fine was removed. The envoys from Ilium had already left, because they had given up hope of avoiding the fine, so Herodes gave a letter to Nicolaus, who was sailing to Chios, where his children were staying.
