Ὀρχομένιος τοὺς μὲν
εὐγενεῖς ἐμίσει, τοὺς δ᾽ εὐτελεῖς ἐφίλει. ἐβουλεύσαντο δὲ οἱ ἐν τῇ
βουλῇ φονεῦσαι, καὶ διακόψαντες αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς κόλπους ἔβαλον, καὶ τὴν
γῆν ἔξυσαν. ὁ δὲ δημότης ὄχλος ὑπόνοιαν
λαβὼν ἔδραμεν εἰς τὴν βουλήν. ὁ δὲ νεώτερος υἱὸς τοῦ βασιλέως
Τλησίμαχος εἰδὼς τὴν συνωμοσίαν ἀπὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἀπέσπασε τὸν ὄχλον,
εἰπὼν ἑωρακέναι τὸν πατέρα μεθ᾽ ὁρμῆς εἰς τὸ Πισαῖον ὄρος φέρεσθαι,
μείζονα μορφὴν ἀνθρώπου κεκτημένον. καὶ
οὕτως ἠπατήθη ὁ ὄχλος ὡς Θεόφιλος 1 ἐν δευτέρῳ Πελοποννησιακῶν.
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1889. 2.
