Despite losing much of his cargo due to various floods which occurred prior to 48 BCE, Phidias was still able to forge a living for himself and his daughter, Kara~~.

	In 48 BCE, ~~Kara was due to attend~~ a ~~reception later that night~~, ~~but due to Phidias~~' ~~work, he was unable~~ to escort her ~~daughter~~ home to ~~make preparations~~. ~~As such~~, he ~~began searching for someone to be~~ his ~~daughter's bodyguard.

Notwithstanding this, he bemoaned the loss of [[Arikonos]], Kara's latest bodyguard who had been slain by bandits and fed to jackals.

			To their fortune, Bayek returned with Pegasus at that very moment.
