Subiit ergo regem verecundia violandi hospitales deos, iamque subduci iubebat, cum Philotas: Minime vero haec feceris, rex, sed omen quoque accipe, mensam ex qua libavit hostis epulas, tuis pedibus esse subiectam.
Thereupon the king was touched with shame at such violation of the gods of hospitality, and was already giving orders for the table to be taken away, when Philotas cried: By no means do so, my king, but accept this omen also, that the board from which your enemy partook of sumptuous meals has been your footstool.
