σὺ δέ, ὡς ἐπισταμένη τὰ ἀμφοτέρων, τὸν ὑπὲρ ἀμφοτέρων ἡμῶν λόγον ὡς ἕνα ὄντα τῷ κριτῇ παράστησον«. ἡ δὲ Μήτηρ ταχέως ἀκούσασα τούτων τὴν Ὁμηρικὴν Ἄϊδος κυνέην αὐτοῖς περιέθηκε πρὸς τὸ ἀοράτως ἐκφυγεῖν τὸν κριτὴν καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνασπάσασα αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν νυμφῶνα εἰσήγαγε καὶ ἀπέδωκε τοίς ἐκυτῶν νομφίας. Τοιαῦτα δὴ λέγοντες καὶ πράττοντες καὶ ἐν τοῖς καθ’ ἡμᾶς κλίμασι τῆς Ῥοδανουσίας πολλὰς ἐξηπατήκασι γυναῖκας, αἵτινες κεκαυτηριασμέναι τὴν συνείδησιν αἶ μὲν καὶ εἰς φανερὸν ἐξομολογοῦνται, αἱ δὲ δυσωπούμεναι εἰ; τὸ παντελὲς ἀπέστησαν, ἔνιαι δὲ ἐπαμφοτερίζουσι καὶ τὸ τῆς παροιμίας πεπόνθασι, μήτε ἔξω μήτε ἔσω οὖσαι, ταύτην ἔχουσαι τὴν ἐπικαρπίαν τοῦ σπέρματος τῶν τέκνων τῆς γνώσεως.
