εἶθ᾽ ὥσπερ ἡμεῖς , ἢν ἰέναι βουλώμεθα Πυθώδε , Βοιωτοὺς δίοδον αἰτούμεθα , οὕτως , ὅταν θύσωσιν ἄνθρωποι θεοῖς , ἢν μὴ φόρον φέρωσιν οἱ ὑμῖν οἱ θεοί , [διὰ τῆς πόλεως τῆς ἀλλοτρίας καὶ τοῦ χάους] τῶν μηρίων τὴν κνῖσαν οὐ διαφρήσετε . ἰοὺ ἰού · μὰ γῆν μὰ παγίδας μὰ νεφέλας μὰ δίκτυα , μὴ ᾽ γὼ νόημα κομψότερον ἤκουσά πω ·
