οἱ δὲ ἄλλοι φεύγουσιν αὐτούς. τούτους ἀνάγκη ὁμολογεῖν ὑμῶν
εὐδαιμονεστέρους, τῶν δὲ ἄλλων ὑμᾶς, πλὴν ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπων ἔτιγένους, τῶν πολυχρυσοτάτων. τὸ δὲ χρυσίον λαμβάνουσι παρὰ
μυρμήκων. οὗτοι δέ εἰσιν ἀλωπέκων μείζονες, τἄλλα δὲ ὅμοιοι
τοῖς παρ᾽ ἡμῖν. ὀρύττουσι δὲ κατὰ γῆς, ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ μύρμηκες.
ὁ δὲ χοῦς αὐτοῖς ἐστι χρυσίον καθαρώτατον πάντων χρυσίων
καὶ στιλπνότατον. εἰσὶν οὖν πλησίον ἐφεξῆς, ὥσπερ κολωνοὶ τοῦψήγματος, καὶ τὸ πεδίον ἅπαν ἀστράπτει. χαλεπὸν οὖν ἰδεῖν ἐστι
πρὸς τὸν ἥλιον, καὶ πολλοὶ τῶν ἐπιχειρούντων ἰδεῖν τὰς ὄψεις
διεφθάρησαν.
