ἃ δὲ τ ... ψεῦσται μόνον ἐξετάζομεν. φησὶ τοίνυν
Ἀθηναίους: λέγειν, ὡς Ἀδείμαντος ὁ Κορινθίων στρατηγός, ἐν χερσὶ τῶν πολεμίων γενομένων, ὑπερεκπλαγεὶς καὶ καταδείσας ἔφευγεν : οὐ πρύμναν
κρουσάμενος οὐδὲ διαδὺς ἀτρέμα διὰ τῶν μαχομένων, ἀλλὰ λαμπρῶς ἐπαιρόμενος τὰ ἱστία καὶ τὰς ναῦς ἁπάσας ἀποστρέψας: εἶτα μέντοι κέλης ἐλαυνόμενος
αὐτῷ συνέτυχε περὶ τὰ λήγοντα τῆς Σαλαμινίας,
ἐκ δὲ τοῦ κέλητος ἐφθέγξατό τις ‘σὺ μέν,
ὦ Ἀδείμαντε , φεύγεις καταπροδοὺς τοὺς Ἕλληνας :
οἱ δὲ καὶ δὴ νικῶσι, καθάπερ ἠρῶντο ἐπικρατῆσαι ’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1893. 5.
