ἤκουον οὔτ᾽ ἦσαν παρ᾽ ἑαυταῖς, ἀλλ᾽ ἔκφρονες [p. 457] καὶ
διεπτοημέναι , πᾶσαν ὄψιν ἀποφεύγουσαι καὶ ψαῦσιν , ἐρρέμβοντο πρῶτον
αὐταὶ καθ᾽ ἑαυτάς, εἶτα πολλαῖς ὁμοίως διακειμέναις ἐντυγχάνουσαι καὶ
περιπλεκόμεναι φοράς τε πάσας πρὸς οὐδὲν ἀκρίτως ἐφέροντο καὶ φωνὰς ἵεσαν ἀσήμους, οἷον ἀλαλαγμοὺς θρήνῳ
καὶ φόβῳ μεμιγμένας. ἄλλαι δ᾽ ἄνωθεν ἐν ἄκρῳ τοῦ περιέχοντος ὀφθῆναί
τε φαιδραὶ καὶ πρὸς ἀλλήλας ὑπ᾽ εὐμενείας θαμὰ πελάζουσαι τὰς δὲ
θορυβώδεις ἐκείνας ἐκτρεπόμεναι, διεσήμαινον ὡς ἔοικε
