ἱκετευθείς. τὸ ἐντεῦθεν ἤδη ῥᾷον, ὡς τὸ εἰκός,
ἁλώσεσθαι ἔμελλεν ὑπὸ γυναικὸς καλῆς καὶ πρὸς
ἡδονήν τε ὁμιλῆσαι ἐπισταμένης καὶ ἐν καιρῷ δακρῦσαι καὶ μεταξὺ τῶν λόγων ἐλεεινῶς ὑποστενάξαι καὶ ἀπιόντος ἤδη λαβέσθαι καὶ εἰσελθόντι προσδραμεῖν καὶ καλλωπίζεσθαι ὡς ἂν μάλιστα ἀρέσειε, καί που καί ᾆσαι καί κιθαρίσαι.
οἷς ἅπασι κατὰ τοῦ Δεινίου ἐκέχρητο: καὶ
ἐπεὶ ᾔσθετο πονηρῶς ἔχοντα καὶ διάβροχον ἤδη
τῷ ἔρωτι καὶ τακερὸν γεγενημένον, ἄλλο ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐπενόει καὶ τὸν ἄθλιον ἀπώλλυε: κύειν τε γὰρ ἐξ αὐτοῦ σκήπτεται — ἱκανὸν δὲ καὶ τοῦτο
βλᾶκα ἐραστὴν προσεκπυρῶσαι — καὶ οὐκέτι ἐφοίτα πρὸς αὐτόν, φυλάττεσθαι ὑπὸ τἀνδρὸς λέγουσα πεπυσμένου τὸν ἔρωτα.
ὁ δ᾽ οὐκέτι οἷός τε ἦν φέρειν τὸ πρᾶγμα,
οὐδὲ ἠνείχετο μὴ ὁρῶν αὐτήν, ἀλλὰ ἐδάκρυε καὶ
τοὺς κόλακας εἰσέπεμπεν καὶ τοὔνομα τῆς Χαρικλείας ἐπεβοᾶτο καὶ τὴν εἰκόνα περιβαλὼν αὐτῆς — ἐπεποίητο δὲ λίθου λευκοῦ — ἐκώκυε, καὶ τέλος καταβαλὼν ἑαυτὸν εἰς τοὔδαφος ἐκυλίνδετο καὶ λύττα ἦν ἀκριβὴς τὸ πρᾶγμα. τὰ μὲν γὰρ δῶρα οὐ κατὰ μῆλα καὶ στεφάνους ἀντεδίδοτο αὐτῇ, ἀλλὰ συνοικίαι ὅλαι καὶ ἀγροὶ καὶ θεράπαιναι καὶ ἐσθῆτες εὐανθεῖς καὶ χρυσὸν ὁπόσον
ἐθελήσειε
[p. 130]
Καὶ τί γάρ ; ἐν βραχεῖ ὁ Λύσωνος οἶκος,
ὀνομαστότατος τῶν ἐν Ἰωνίᾳ γενόμενος, ἐξήντλητο
