ἐνταῦθα μέντοι ἐγέλασαν ἀμφότεροι, οὐ μόνον ὁ τῆς κόρης πατήρ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ὁ ἐκείνου. ὁ δὲ ᾐσχύνθη καὶ ἐσιώπησε. λέγει οὖν ὁ τῆς κόρης πατήρ, Ἐγὼ μέν, ἔφη, ὦ παῖ, οὐδὲν ὑπερβάλλομαι. ὁ δὲ πατήρ σου περιμένει, ἔστʼ ἂν ἱερεῖον πρίηται πορευθείς. δεῖ γὰρ θῦσαι τοῖς θεοῖς. εἶπεν οὖν ὁ νεώτερος ἀδελφὸς τῆς κόρης, Ἀλλὰ ἱερεῖόν γε πάλαι οὗτος παρεσκεύακε, καὶ ἔστιν ἔνδον τρεφόμενον ὄπισθεν τῆς σκηνῆς γενναῖον.
