καὶ σχολὴν ἄγοντες ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν πρὸς θήραν ἐτράπησαν, τὸ μὲν αὐτοί, τὸ δὲ καὶ μετὰ κυνῶν. δύο γὰρ τῶν ἑπομένων ταῖς βουσίν, ὡς δὴ μακρὰν ἦσαν οὐχ ὁρῶντες τοὺς νομεῖς, ὑπέστρεψαν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον καταλιπόντες τὴν ἀγέλην. οὗτοι τὸ μὲν πρῶτον συνηκολούθουν αὐτοῖς, ὥσπερ ἐπʼ ἄλλο τι· καὶ τοὺς μὲν λύκους ὁπότε ἴδοιεν, ἐδίωκον μέχρι τινός, συῶν δὲ ἢ ἐλάφων οὐδὲν αὐτοῖς ἔμελεν.
