Ὁ λόγος ἤρεσε Καλλιρρόῃ, καὶ τότε μὲν ἐπέσχε τὴν σπουδήν· ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἧκεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ἐπί τινος ὑψηλῆς ᾐόνος οἰκοδομεῖν ἤρξατο τάφον, πάντα ὅμοιον τῷ ἰδίῳ τῷ ἐν Συρακούσαις, τὸ σχῆμα, τὸ μέγεθος, τὴν πολυτέλειαν, καὶ οὗτος δέ, ὡς ἐκεῖνος, ζῶντος. Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἀφθόνοις ἀναλώμασι καὶ πολυχειρίᾳ ταχέως τὸ ἔργον ἠνύσθη, τότε ἤδη καὶ τὴν ἐκκομιδὴν ἐμιμήσατο τὴν ἐπ’ αὐτῷ.
