‘‘ [4] Ἂν γὰρ ἐρείσῃ τις ἐπί τινος σώματος, φεύγει πρὸς τὴν κώπην ὥσπερ εἰς κουλεόν: καὶ οἱ μὲν ὁρῶντες δοκοῦσι βαπτίζεσθαι τὸν σίδηρον κατὰ τοῦ σώματος, ὁ δὲ εἰς τὸν χηραμὸν τῆς κώπης ἀνέδραμε, μόνην δὲ καταλείπει τὴν αἰχμήν, ὅσον τὴν πλαστὴν γαστέρα τεμεῖν καὶ τὴν κώπην ἐν χρῷ τοῦ σφαζομένου τυχεῖν: κἂν ἀποσπάσῃ τις τὸν σίδηρον [p. 107] ἐκ τοῦ τραύματος, καταρρεῖ πάλιν ἐκ τοῦ χηραμοῦ τὸ ξίφος, ὅσον τῆς κώπης ἀνακουφίζεται τὸ μετέωρον καὶ τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον τοὺς ὁρῶντας ἀπατᾷ. ’’
