οὐκ ἠγνόουν Αἰγεῖδαι Θησέα τὸν Αἰγέως πρῶτον ἰσηγορίαν καταστησάμενον τῇ πόλει. δεινὸν οὖν ἡγοῦντο τὴν ἐκείνου προδοῦναι προαίρεσιν, καὶ τεθνάναι μᾶλλον ᾑροῦνθ᾽ ἢ καταλυομένης ταύτης παρὰ τοῖς Ἕλλησιν ζῆν φιλοψυχήσαντες. παρειλήφεσαν Πανδιονίδαι Πρόκνην καὶ Φιλομήλαν τὰς Πανδίονος θυγατέρας, ὡς ἐτιμωρήσαντο Τηρέα διὰ τὴν εἰς αὑτὰς ὕβριν. οὐ βιωτὸν οὖν ἐνόμιζον αὑτοῖς, εἰ μὴ συγγενῆ φανήσονται τὸν θυμὸν ἔχοντες ἐκείναις, ἐφ᾽ οἷς τὴν Ἑλλάδ᾽ ἑώρων ὑβριζομένην.
