Λεωνᾶς δὲ κελεύσας Φωκᾷ τῷ οἰκονόμῳ πολλὴν ἐπιμέλειαν ἔχειν τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτὸς ἔτι νυκτὸς ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὴν Μίλητον, σπεύδων εὐαγγελίσασθαι τῷ δεσπότῃ τὰ περὶ τῆς νεωνήτου, μεγάλην οἰόμενος αὐτῷ φέρειν τοῦ πένθους παραμυθίαν. Εὗρε δὲ ἔτι κατακείμενον τὸν Διονύσιον· ἀλύων γὰρ ὑπὸ τῆς λύπης οὐδὲ προῄει τὰ πολλά, καίτοι ποθούσης αὐτὸν τῆς πατρίδος, ἀλλὰ διέτριβεν ἐν τῷ θαλάμῳ, ὡς ἔτι παρούσης αὐτῷ τῆς γυναικός.
