ἐνταῦθα δὴ ἐθορύβουν καὶ ψεύδεσθαί με ἔφασαν. ὁ δὲ ἠρώτα με εἰ σῖτον ἔχομεν καὶ πόσον τινά. εἶπον τὸν ὄντα ἀληθῶς· δύο, ἔφην, μεδίμνους πυρῶν καὶ τέτταρας κριθῶν καὶ τοσούτους κέγχρων, κυάμων δὲ ἡμίεκτον· οὐ γὰρ ἐγένοντο τῆτες. τοὺς μὲν οὖν πυροὺς καὶ τὰς κριθάς, ἔφην, ὑμεῖς λάβετε, τὰς δὲ κέγχρους ἡμῖν ἄφετε. εἰ δὲ κέγχρων δεῖσθε, καὶ ταύτας λάβετε.
