Barlaam and Josaphat
King and father of Josaphat; plots to capture a man posing as Barlaam and confronts his son over his conversion to Christianity.

And it was noised abroad that Barlaam had been seized, so that the king's son, hearing it, was grievously pained in his soul, and could in no way restrain his tears.
