ταύτην οὖν τότε οἱ Δεινίου κόλακες παραλαμβάνουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ μειράκιον, καὶ τὰ πολλὰ ὑπεκωμῴδουν, συνωθοῦντες αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν ἔρωτα τῆς Χαρικλείας. ἡ δὲ πολλοὺς ἤδη νέους ἐκτραχηλίσασα καὶ μυρίους ἔρωτας ὑποκριναμένη καὶ οἴκους πολυταλάντους ἀνατρέψασα, ποικίλον τι
καὶ πολυγύμναστον κακόν, παραλαβοῦσα εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ἁπλοϊκὸν καὶ ἄπειρον τῶν τοιούτων μηχανημάτων νεανίσκον οὐκ ἀνῆκεν ἐκ τῶν ὀνύχων, ἀλλὰ περιέχουσα πανταχόθεν καὶ διαπείρασα, ὅτε ἤδη παντάπασιν ἐκράτει, αὐτή τε ἀπώλετο ὑπὸ τῆς ἄγρας καὶ τῷ κακοδαίμονι Δεινίᾳ μυρίων κακῶν αἰτία ἐγένετο.

[p. 128] ἀπάγξει ἑαυτὴν ἡ ἀθλία ὑπὸ τοῦ ἔρωτος, ἕως δὴ
ὁ μακάριος ἐπείσθη καλὸς εἶναι καὶ ταῖς Ἐφεσίων
γυναιξὶ περιπόθητος, καί που συνηνέχθη πολλὰ
