[56]
πάνυ τραγικά, ὦ Τόξαρι, καὶ μύθοις ὅμοια:
καὶ ἵλεως μὲν ὁ Ἀκινάκης καὶ ὁ Ἄνεμος εἶεν,
οὓς ὤμοσας: εἰ δ᾽ οὖν τις ἀπιστοίη αὐτοῖς, οὐ πάνυ μεμπτὸς εἶναι δόξειεν ἄν.
Τόξαρις
ἀλλ᾽ ὅρα, ὦ γενναῖε, μὴ φθόνος ὑμῶν ἡ ἀπιστία ᾖ. πλὴν οὐκ ἐμὲ ἀποτρέψεις ἀπιστῶν καὶ ἄλλα τοιαῦτα εἰπεῖν ἃ οἶδα ὑπὸ Σκυθῶν γενόμενα.
Μνήσιππος
μὴ μακρὰ μόνον, ὦ ἄριστε, μηδὲ οὕτως ἀφέτοις
χρώμενος τοῖς λόγοις: ὡς νῦν γε, ἄνω καὶ κάτω
τὴν Σκυθίαν καὶ τὴν Μαχλυανὴν διαθέων καὶ εἰς τὸν Βόσπορον ἀπιών, εἶτ᾽ ἐπανιών, πάνυ μου
κατεχρήσω τῇ σιωπῇ.
Τόξαρις
πειστέον καὶ ταῦτά σοι νομοθετοῦντι καὶ διὰ βραχέων λεκτέον, μὴ καὶ κάμῃς ἡμῖν τῇ ἀκοῇ
