οὔκουν ῥᾴδιον, ἔφη, ἄλλως· ὅρα γὰρ ὡς ἄγρια καὶ σκληρὰ τῆς νήσου τὰ πρὸς τὸ πέλαγος. ταῦτʼ, εἶπεν, ἐστὶ τὰ κοῖλα τῆς Εὐβοίας λεγόμενα, ὅπου κατενεχθεῖσα ναῦς οὐκ ἂν ἔτι σωθείη· σπανίως δὲ σῴζονται καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τινές, εἰ μὴ ἄρα, ὥσπερ ὑμεῖς, ἐλαφροὶ παντελῶς πλέοντες. ἀλλʼ ἴθι καὶ μηδὲν δείσῃς. νῦν μὲν ἐκ τῆς κακοπαθείας ἀνακτήσῃ σαυτόν· εἰς αὔριον δέ, ὅ τι ἂν ᾖ δυνατόν, ἐπιμελησόμεθα ὅπως σωθῇς, ἐπειδή σε ἔγνωμεν ἅπαξ.
