. ὥστε ὑπὸ τῶν κακῶν ἐπὶ ταύτην τὴν
[p. 332] ἐσχατιὰν τραπόμενος ἐναψάμενος διφθέραν ἐργάζομαι τὴν γῆν ὑπόμισθος ὀβολῶν τεττάρων, τῇ ἐρημίᾳ καὶ τῇ δικέλλῃ προσφιλοσοφῶν. ἐνταῦθα τοῦτο γοῦν μοι δοκῶ κερδανεῖν, μηκέτι ὄψεσθαι πολλοὺς παρὰ τὴν ἀξίαν εὖ πράττοντας:
ἀνιαρότερον γὰρ τοῦτό γε. ἤδη ποτὲ οὖν, ὦ Κρόνου καὶ Ῥέας υἱέ, τὸν βαθὺν τοῦτον ὕπνον ἀποσεισάμενος καὶ νήδυμον
ὑπὲρ τὸν Ἐπιμενίδην γὰρ κεκοίμησαι — καὶ
ἀναρριπίσας τὸν κεραυνὸν ἢ ἐκ τῆς Αἴτνης ^ ἐναυσάμενος μεγάλην ποιήσας τὴν φλόγα
ἐπιδείξαιό τινα χολὴν ἀνδρώδους καὶ νεανικοῦ Διός,
εἰ μὴ ἀληθῆ ἐστι τὰ ὑπὸ Κρητῶν περὶ σοῦ καὶ τῆς ἐκεῖ ταφῆς μυθολογούμενα.
