Ἀνελθοῦσα δὲ εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον ἡ Καλλιρρόη καὶ συγκλείσασα τὰς θύρας τὴν εἰκόνα Χαιρέου τῇ γαστρὶ προσέθηκε καὶ “ἰδοὺ” φησὶ “τρεῖς γεγόναμεν, ἀνὴρ καὶ γυνὴ καὶ τέκνον. Βουλευσώμεθα περὶ τοῦ κοινῇ συμφέροντος. Ἐγὼ μὲν οὖν πρώτη τὴν ἐμὴν γνώμην ἀποφαίνομαι· θέλω γὰρ ἀποθανεῖν Χαιρέου μόνου γυνή. Τοῦτό μοι καὶ γονέων ἥδιον καὶ πατρίδος καὶ τέκνου, πεῖραν ἑτέρου ἀνδρὸς μὴ λαβεῖν.
