Καὶ οἱ μὲν ἀπηλλάσσοντο· ὁ δὲ Ἄψυρτος παραλαβὼν τὸν Ἁβροκόμην καὶ τὴν Ἄνθειαν καὶ οἰκέτας δύο, Λεύκωνα καὶ Ῥόδην, ἤγαγεν εἰς τὴν Τύρον.

So they went away. Apsyrtus took charge of Habrocomes and Anthia and two slaves, Leucon and Rhode, and brought them into Tyre.

The setting

Book 2, chapter 2. Corymbus and Euxinus have handed the captives over to their chief, Apsyrtus.

A note on this passage

Corymbus and Euxinus leave the story here: with οἱ μὲν ἀπηλλάσσοντο, "they went away," they go, and neither is named again. Leucon and Rhode are named for the first time. They come from the couple's household in Ephesus (2.3.6), so they must be two of the few slaves Corymbus took onto his ship before he burned it (1.14.1).
