πάντα μὲν ἠπιστάμην ταῦτα καὶ διὰ τοῦτο
ἀντεῖχον ἐπὶ πολὺ καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευον αὐτῷ τὴν ἔλασιν:
ἐπεὶ δὲ κατελιπάρησε δακρύων καὶ ἡ μήτηρ Κλυμένη μετ᾽
αὐτοῦ, ἀναβιβασάμενος ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα ὑπεθέμην, ὅπως
μὲν χρὴ βεβηκέναι αὐτόν, ἐφ᾽ ὁπόσον δὲ ἐς τὸ ἄνω ἀφέντα
ὑπερενεχθῆναι, εἶτα ἐς τὸ κάταντες αὖθις ἐπινεύειν
καὶ ὡς ἐγκρατῆ εἶναι τῶν ἡνιῶν καὶ μὴ ἐφιέναι τῷ θυμῷ
τῶν ἵππων: εἶπον δὲ καὶ ἡλίκος ὁ κίνδυνος, εἰ μὴ ὀρθὴν
ἐλαύνοι: ὁ δὲ — παῖς γὰρ ἦν — ἐπιβὰς τοσούτου
πυρὸς καὶ ἐπικύψας ἐς βάθος ἀχανὲς ἐξεπλάγη, ὡς τὸ
εἰκός: οἱ δὲ ἵπποι ὡς ᾔσθοντο οὐκ ὄντα ἐμὲ τὸν ἐπιβεβηκότα,
καταφρονήσαντες τοῦ μειρακίου ἐξετράποντο
τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ τὰ δεινὰ ταῦτα ἐποίησαν: ὁ δὲ τὰς ἡνίας
ἀφείς, οἶμαι δεδιὼς μὴ ἐκπέσῃ αὐτός, εἴχετο τῆς ἄντυγος.
[p. 115]
ἀλλὰ ἐκεῖνός τε ἤδη ἔχει τὴν δίκην κἀμοί, ὦ Ζεῦ,
ἱκανὸν τὸ πένθος.
