κινήθη δʼ ἀγορή, ὡς κύματα μακρὰ θαλάσσης πόντου Ἰκαρίοιο, τὰ μέν τʼ Εὖρός τε Νότος τε ὤρορʼ ἐπαΐξας πατρὸς Διὸς ἐκ νεφελάων· ἑτέρου δὲ πάλιν αὖ, δῆμος ἄστατον κακόν, καὶ θαλάσσῃ πάνθʼ ὅμοιον ὑπʼ ἀνέμου ῥιπίζεται. καὶ γαληνὸς εντηχω παν πνεῦμα βραχὺ κορύσσεται. κἄν τις αἰτία γένηται, τὸν πολίτην κατέπιεν.
