Ἀλλ' ὅτε δ' Αἰήτης καὶ Ἀλωεὺς ἐξεγένοντο
Ἠελίου τε καὶ Ἀντιόπης, τότε δ' ἄνδιχα χώρην
δάσσατο παισὶν ἑοῖς Ὑπερίονος ἀγλαὸς υἱός·
ἣν μὲν ἔχ' Ἀσωπός, ταύτην πόρε δίῳ Ἀλωεῖ·
ἣν δ' Ἐφύρη κτεάτισσ', Αἰήτῃ δῶκεν ἅπασαν·
Αἰήτης δ' ἄρ' ἑκὼν Βούνῳ παρέδωκε φυλάσσειν,
εἰσόκεν αὐτὸς ἵκοιτ' ἢ ἐξ αὐτοῖό τις ἄλλος
ἢ πάις ἢ υἱωνός· ὃ δ' ᾤχετο Κολχίδα γαῖαν.
