οἱ δὲ σὺν γέλωτι, Σύ, ἔφησαν, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, οὐ παύσῃ τήμερον καταψευδόμενος τῆς χώρας ἡμῶν καὶ τοῦ
ποταμοῦ; ἡμεῖς δὲ ἀεὶ πλέοντες καὶ ἐκ παίδων σχεδὸν ἐργαζόμενοι ἐν τῷ Ἠριδανῷ ὀλίγους μὲν
[p. 78] κύκνους ἐνίοτε ὁρῶμεν ἐν τοῖς ἕλεσι τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ κρώζουσιν οὗτοι πάνυ ἄμουσον καὶ ἀσθενές,
ὡς τοὺς κόρακας ἢ τοὺς κολοιοὺς Σειρῆνας εἶναι πρὸς αὐτούς, ᾀδόντων δὲ ἡδὺ καὶ οἷον σὺ φὴς οὐδὲ
ὄναρ ἀκηκόαμεν ὥστε θαυμάζομεν πόθεν ταῦτα εἰς ὑμᾶς ἀφίκετο περὶ ἡμῶν.
