ἐκαλεῖτο δὲ αὐτῶν ἡ μὲν βασίλειος ἄκρα, ἱερὰ Διὸς βασιλέως, ἡ δὲ ἑτέρα τυραννική,Τυφῶνος ἐπώνυμος. δύο δὲ εἶχον ἔξωθεν ἐφόδους εἰς αὑτάς, ἡ μὲν βασίλειος ἀσφαλῆ καὶ πλατεῖαν, ὡς ἀκινδύνως τε καὶ ἀπταίστως διʼ αὐτῆς εἰσιέναι ἐφʼ ἅρματος ἐλαύνοντα, εἴ τῳ δεδομένον εἴη παρὰ τοῦ μεγίστου θεῶν· ἡ δὲ ἑτέρα στενήν τε καὶ σκολιὰν καὶ βίαιον, ὡς τοὺς πλείστους πειρωμένους αὐτῆς οἴχεσθαι κατὰ τῶν κρημνῶν καὶ τοῦ ῥεύματος, ἅτε οἶμαι παρὰ δίκην ἰόντας.
