ἔπειτα ἕωθεν παρʼ ἡμῖν, ἔφη, κοιμηθεὶς ἥξεις ἐπὶ τὴν θάλατταν, ὡς τά γε νῦν οὐκ ἔστι πλόϊμα. καὶ μὴ τοῦτο, εἶπε, φοβηθῇς. βουλοίμην δʼ ἂν ἔγωγε καὶ μετὰ πέντε ἡμέρας λῆξαι τὸν ἄνεμον· ἀλλʼ οὐ ῥᾴδιον, εἶπεν,ὅταν οὕτως πιεσθῇ τὰ ἄκρα τῆς Εὐβοίας ὑπὸ τῶν νεφῶν ὥς γε νῦν κατειλημμένα ὁρᾷς. καὶ ἅμα ἠρώτα με ὁπόθεν δὴ καὶ ὅπως ἐκεῖ κατηνέχθην, καὶ εἰ μὴ διεφθάρη τὸ πλοῖον. μικρὸν ἦν παντελῶς, ἔφην, ἁλιέων τινῶν περαιουμένων, κἀγὼ μόνος ξυνέπλεον ὑπὸ σπουδῆς τινος. διεφθάρη δʼ ὅμως ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐκπεσόν.
