In a sealed tomb in Abruzzo, Havelock, Vanini, and Hassan uncover scrolls containing both a mysterious modern-hand passage of Samuel’s warning against kings and a cache of letters between Strabo of Amaseia and Nicolaus of Damascus. The correspondence reveals Nicolaus’ defense of Herod’s rule as necessary statecraft, Strabo’s suspicions of cruelty, and remarkable accounts of the League of Star Bearers—foreign kings, a Scythian queen, and the enigmatic Adam Aliquis—pursuing a wandering star toward Bethlehem. As the letters darken, Nicolaus privately confesses to Strabo the truth of Herod’s massacre of the innocents, a crime he dares not record in history but cannot silence in conscience. The chapter closes with fragments from Strabo’s Geographica describing the Nabataeans’ austere communal life and control of desert trade, underscoring themes of kingship, truth, and the fragile line between history and myth.
