ὁ δὲ Δημήτριος ἐν τῇ τοιαύτῃ τύχῃ
γεγονὼς ἐπέστειλε τοῖς περὶ τὸν υἱὸν καὶ τοῖς
περὶ Ἀθήνας καὶ Κόρινθον ἡγεμόσι καὶ φίλοις1
μήτε γράμμασιν αὐτοῦ μήτε σφραγῖδι πιστεύειν,
ἀλλ᾽ ὥσπερ τεθνηκότος Ἀντιγόνῳ τὰς πόλεις καὶ
τὰ λοιπὰ πράγματα διαφυλάττειν.
[2]
Ἀντίγονος
δὲ τὴν τοῦ πατρὸς σύλληψιν πυθόμενος καὶ βαρέως
ἐνεγκὼν καὶ πενθίμην ἀναλαβὼν ἐσθῆτα πρός
τε τοὺς ἄλλους βασιλεῖς ἔγραψε καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν
Σέλευκον, δεόμενος, καὶ πᾶν ὅ τι λοιπὸν ἦν αὐτοῖς
παραδιδούς, καὶ πρὸ παντὸς ὁμηρεύειν ἕτοιμος ὢν
αὐτὸς ὑπὲρ τοῦ πατρός. καὶ συνεδέοντο ταῦτα
πόλεις τε πολλαὶ καὶ δυνάσται πλὴν Λυσιμάχου.
[3]
Λυσίμαχος δὲ καὶ χρήματα πολλὰ πέμπων ὑπισχνεῖτο
Σελεύκῳ κτείναντι Δημήτριον. ὁ δὲ ἐκεῖνον
μὲν καὶ ἄλλως προβαλλόμενος ἔτι μᾶλλον
ἐπὶ τούτῳ μιαρὸν ἡγεῖτο καὶ βάρβαρον, Ἀντιόχῳ
δὲ τῷ παιδὶ καὶ Στρατονίκῃ φυλάττων Δημήτριον,
ὡς ἐκείνων ἡ χάρις γένοιτο, παρῆγε τὸν
χρόνον.
