καὶ μόλις ἀποσπάσαι τὴν κεφαλήν, Ἤδη δὲ
σύνδηλον ἦν τὸ γεγονὸς πλείοσι, καὶ προσδραμὼν
ὁ Ἀλκυονεὺς ᾔτησε τὴν κεφαλὴν ὡς ἂν κατανοήσων
λαβὼν δὲ ἀφίππευσε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, καὶ
καθεζομένῳ μετὰ τῶν φίλων προσέβαλε, θεασάμενος
δὲ καὶ γνοὺς ὁ Ἀντίγονος τὸν μὲν υἱὸν
[p. 460]
ἀπήλασε τῇ βακτηρίᾳ παίων καὶ καλῶν ἐναγῆ
καὶ βάρβαρον, αὐτὸς δὲ τὴν χλαμύδα προθέμενος
τοῖς ὄμμασιν ἐδάκρυσεν, Ἀντιγόνου τοῦ πάππου
μνησθεὶς καὶ Δημητρίου τοῦ πατρός, οἰκείων
παραδειγμάτων εἴς τύχης μεταβολήν.
