ταῦτά γε, οἶμαι, καὶ ὁ Χρύσης ἐπιστάμενος
ἅτε ἱερεὺς ὢν καὶ γέρων καὶ τὰ θεῖα σοφός, ἐπειδὴ ἄπρακτος ἀπῄει παρὰ τοῦ Ἀγαμέμνονος, ὡς ἂν καὶ προδανείσας τῷ Ἀπόλλωνι τὴν χάριν
δικαιολογεῖται καὶ ἀπαιτεῖ τὴν ἀμοιβὴν καὶ μόνον οὐκ ὀνειδίζει λέγων, ‘ὦ βέλτιστε Ἄπολλον, ἐγὼ μέν
σου τὸν νεὼν τέως ἀστεφάνωτον ὄντα πολλάκις
ἐστεφάνωσα, καὶ τοσαῦτά σοι μηρία ταύρων τε καὶ αἰγῶν ἔκαυσα ἐπὶ τῶν βωμῶν, σὺ δὲ ἀμελεῖς μου τοιαῦτα πεπονθότος καὶ παρ᾽ οὐδὲν τίθεσαι
'τὸν εὐεργέτην.’ τοιγαροῦν οὕτω κατεδυσώπησεν
αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν λόγων, ὥστε ἁρπασάμενος τὰ τόξα
[p. 158] καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ ναυστάθμου καθίσας ἑαυτὸν κατετόξευσε τῷ λοιμῷ τοὺς Ἀχαιοὺς αὐταῖς ἡμιόνοις καὶ κυσίν.
