ὁ δὲ Πιττακὸς ἢ Βίας ὑπολαβών φησιν, εἶτα Λυδοὺς μὲν ἤπειρον
οἰκοῦντας σπεύδειν ἀποφαίνῃ λαβεῖν ἐπὶ γῆς νησιώτας ἄνδρας, τοὺς
δὲ νῆσον οἰκοῦντας οὐκ οἴει θεοῖς εὔξασθαι λαβεῖν ἐν θαλάττῃ
Λυδούς, ἵν᾽ ὑπὲρ τῶν κατὰ τὴν ἤπειρον τοῖς Ἕλλησι συμβάντων
κακῶν κατὰ πέλαγος ἀμύνωνται τὸν τοὺς συγγενεῖς καταδεδουλωμένον; ὁ
δὲ Κροῖσος θαυμάσας τὸν λόγον παραχρῆμα μετενόησε καὶ τῆς ναυπηγίας
ἀπέστη.
