32 Immediately they obey the order of the | host who is about to give 
a feast of currant cakes. When this is done they really | go to call 
again. Now they stay longer in each house while they are calling, | 
and some of the guests begin to come when they are called this time.

because of it. | As soon as he sits down, he asks the song-leader to sing | 
his feast-song; (he continues) “for it is obtained by me because my child 
50 did not come earlier.”’ || Thus speaks the one who has been called last;
