ὁ δʼ Ἐφιάλτης ὡς εἶδεν καταπλαγείς, καθίζει μονοχίτων ἐπὶ τὸν βωμόν. θαυμασάντων δὲ πάντων τὸ γεγονός, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα συναθροισθείσης τῆς βουλῆς τῶν πεντακοσίων, κατηγόρουν τῶν Ἀρεοπαγιτῶν ὅ τʼ Ἐφιάλτης καὶ ὁ Θεμιστοκλῆς, καὶ πάλιν ἐν τῷ δήμῳ τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον, ἕως περιείλοντο αὐτῶν τὴν δύναμιν. καὶ ἀνῃρέθη δὲ καὶ ὁ Ἐφιάλτης δολοφονηθεὶς μετʼ οὐ πολὺν χρόνον διʼ Ἀριστοδίκου τοῦ Ταναγραίου.
