ἀπέβαλε πάντας, αὐτὸς δὲ καιρίως τρωθεὶς μεθ᾽ ὁρμῆς ἐπὶ τὸν Ἀννίβαν
ἠνέχθη, καὶ καθελὼν τὸ διάδημα συναπέθανεν αὐτῷ, καθάπερ ἱστορεῖ
Ἀριστείδης 1 ὁ
Μιλήσιος.
κατὰ Κελαινὰς 2 πόλιν τῆς Φρυγίας χάσμα μεθ᾽
ὕδατος γενόμενον πολλὰς οἰκίας αὐτάνδρους εἰς τὸν βυθὸν εἵλκυσε. 3
Μίδας δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς χρησμὸν ἔλαβεν, ἐὰν τὸ τιμιώτατον ἐμβάλῃ,
συνελεύσεσθαι: ὁ δὲ χρυσὸν καὶ ἄργυρον ἐμβαλὼν οὐδὲν ἐβοήθησεν.
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1889. 2.
