ὁπόσα εἴχομεν ἐσκοπούμεθα δὲ περὶ τῶν
παρόντων ὅ τι πράξομεν, ἄποροι παντάπασιν ἐν τῇ ἀλλοδαπῇ γενόμενοι. κἀμοὶ μὲν ἐδόκει ὡς εἶχον αὐτοῦ παραβύσαντα ἐς τὴν πλευρὰν τὸν ἀκινάκην ἀπελθεῖν τοῦ βίου πρὶν ἀγεννές τι ὑποστῆναι λιμῷ ἢ δίψει πιεσθέντα, ὁ δὲ Σισίννης παρεμυθεῖτο
καὶ ἱκέτευεν μηδὲν τοιοῦτο ποιεῖν αὐτὸς γὰρ
ἐπινοήσειν ὅθεν ἕξομεν ἱκανῶς τὰς τροφάς.
καὶ τότε μὲν ξύλα ἐκ τοῦ λιμένος
παρεκόμισεν καὶ ἧκεν ἡμῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ μισθοῦ ἐπισιτισάμενος:
ἕωθεν δὲ περιιὼν κατὰ τὴν ἀγορὰν εἶδε προπομπήν ^ τινα, ὡς ἔφη, γενναίων καὶ καλῶν νεανίσκων.
[p. 198] μονομαχεῖν δὲ οὗτοι ἐπὶ μισθῷ ἀνδρολογηθέντες εἰς τρίτην ἡμέραν διαγωνιεῖσθαι ἔμελλον. καὶ
δὴ τὸ πᾶν ὡς εἶχεν ἀμφ᾽ αὐτοὺς πυθόμενος,
ἐλθὼν ὡς ἐμέ, ‘ μηκέτι, ὦ Τόξαρι,’ ἔφη, ‘ σαυτὸν πένητα λέγε, εἰς γὰρ τρίτην ἡμέραν πλούσιόν σε
ἀποφανῶ.
