Σεμίραμιν τὴν Ἀσσυρίαν ἄλλοι μὲν ἄλλως ᾄδουσιν· ὡραιοτάτη δὲ ἐγένετο γυναικῶν, εἰ καὶ ἀφελέστερον ἐχρῆτο τῷ κάλλει. Ἀφικομένη δὲ πρὸς τὸν τῶν Ἀσσυρίων βασιλέα κλητὴ, κατὰ κλέος τῆς ὥρας, ὅδε ἐντυχὼν τῇ ἀνθρώπῳ ἠράσθη αὐτῆς. Ἡ δὲ ᾔτησεν ἐκ τοῦ βασιλέως τὴν βασίλειον στολὴν λαβεῖν δῶρα, καὶ πέντε ἡμερῶν τῆς Ἀσίας ἄρξαι, καὶ τὰ ἀπὸ ταύτης προσταττόμενα δρᾶσαι· καὶ οὐδὲ τῆς αἰτήσεως ἠτύχησεν. Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐκάθισεν αὐτὴν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου, καὶ ἔγνω διὰ χειρὸς καὶ γνώμης ἔχουσα πάντα, προσέταξε τοῖς δορυφόροις αὐτὸν τὸν βασιλέα κτεῖναι· καὶ οὕτω τὴν τῶν Ἀσσυρίων ἀρχὴν κατέσχε. Λέγει δὲ ταῦτα Δείνων.
