ὅτι οἱ
Λακεδαιμόνιοι ἔπεμψαν εἰς Δελφοὺς περὶ τῶν ὀστέων Ὀρέστου τοῦ
Ἀγαμέμνονος, ἐν ποίῳ τινὶ τόπῳ κεῖνται. καὶ ἔχρησεν οὕτως,“
ἔστι τις Ἀρκαδίας Τεγέη λευρῷ ἐνὶ χώρῳ,
ἔνθ᾽ ἄνεμοι πνείουσι δύω κρατερῆς ὑπ᾽ ἀνάγκης
καὶ τύπος ἀντίτυπος καὶ πῆμ᾽ ἐπὶ πήματι κεῖται.
ἔνθ᾽ Ἀγαμεμνονίδην κατέχει φυσίζοος αἶα:
τὸν σὺ κομισσάμενος Τεγέης ἐπιτάρροθος ἔσσῃ.
”ἦν δὲ χαλκεῖον, καὶ δηλοῖ τὰς φύσας, τύπον δὲ τὸν ἄκμονά
φησι καὶ τὰς σφύρας, πῆμα δὲ ἐπὶ πήματι τὸν σίδηρον ἐπὶ σιδήρῳ:
πῆμα γὰρ εἴρηται διὰ τὸ ἐπὶ κακῷ τῶν ἀνθρώπων εὑρῆσθαι.
