    that two other robbers on horseback had arrived.
    Reaching the tomb, they removed the flagstone and one said to the other, "Which of us will go in?".
    Immediately the rogue inside answered, "Don't bother coming in, I'll go out to ye". Hearing this they made off in terror, leaving their horses after them.
    The original thief, finding the doorway open immediately got out, mounted one of the horses and rode off, leading the other horse by the bridle.
