Συνῆκεν οὖν τοῦ κόχλου τὴν φύσιν ὁ ποιμήν, ὅτι φάρμακον ἔχει κάλλους πεφυτευμένον· καὶ λαβὼν μαλλὸν ἐρίου καθῆκεν εἰς τὸν χηραμὸν αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔριον, ζητῶν τοῦ κόχλου τὰ μυστήρια· τὸ δὲ κατὰ τὴν γένυν τοῦ κυνὸς ᾑμάσσετο· καὶ τότε τὸν οἶκον τῆς πορφύρας ἐδιδάσκετο. Λαβὼν δή τινας λίθους περιθραύει τὸ τεῖχος τοῦ φαρμάκου καὶ τὸ ἄδυτον ἀνοίγει τῆς πορφύρας, καὶ θησαυρὸν εὑρίσκει βαφῆς.
