Certainly not the priests, because they know naught of money making." "Who knows best in all our city how to become wealthy. Chancellor?" asked the king. "Thy question answers itself, your majesty. Who has amassed the greatest wealth in Babylon?" "Well said, my able Chancellor. It is Arkad. He is the richest man in Babylon. Bring him before me on the morrow."
