καὶ Διομήδην δὲ τὸν Θρᾷκα, ὅτι ποικίλην εἶχεν ἐσθῆτα καὶ καθῆστο ἐπὶ θρόνου πίνων διʼ ἡμέρας καὶ τρυφῶν, καὶ τοὺς ξένους ἠδίκει καὶ τοὺς ὑφʼ αὑτῷ, πολλὴν ἵππον τρέφων, τῷ ῥοπάλῳ παίων διήραξεν ὥσπερ πίθον παλαιόν. καὶ τὸν Γηρυόνην, πλείστους βοῦς ἔχοντα καὶ τῶν πρὸς ἑσπέρας ἁπάντων πλουσιώτατον ὄντα καὶ ὑπερηφανώτατον, αὐτόν τε ἀπέκτεινε καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τὰς βοῦς ἀπήλασε.
