ἀδελφὸν ἐμαυτοῦ ζητῶ στρατευόμενον. Κατελείφθην ὑπὸ τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς νεὼς ἐν Κεφαλληνίᾳ· ταχείας δὲ τῆς ἀναγωγῆς γενομένης ἐκεῖθεν ἐπέβην τοῦδε τοῦ κέλητος παραπλέοντος εὐκαίρως. Ἐξαισίοις δὲ πνεύμασιν ἐξεώσθημεν εἰς ταύτην τὴν θάλασσαν, εἶτα γαλήνης μακρᾶς γενομένης δίψει πάντες ἀνῃρέθησαν, ἐγὼ δὲ μόνος ἐσώθην ὑπὸ τῆς ἐμῆς εὐσεβείας.” Ἀκούσας οὖν ὁ Χαιρέας ἐκέλευσεν ἐξάψαι τὸν κέλητα τῆς τριήρους, ἕως εἰς τοὺς Συρακουσίων λιμένας καταπλεύσῃ.
