Πρώτῃ καὶ ὀγδοηκοστῇ Ὀλυμπιάδι φασὶ· τήν Αἴτνην ῥυῆναι, ὅτε καὶ φιλόνομος καὶ Καλλίας οἱ Καταναῖοι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν πατέρας ἀράμενοι διὰ μέσης τῆς φλογὸς ἐκόμισαν, τῶν ἄλλων κτημάτων καταφρονήσαντες. ἀνθ’ ὧν καὶ ἀμοιβῆς ἔτυχον τῆς ἐκ τοῦ θείου· τὸ γάρ τοι πῦρ θεόντων αὐτῶν διέστη καθ’ ὃ μέρος ἐκεῖνοι παρεγίνοντο.
