ἡ γοῦν Ἐρυθραία πρὸς τὸν θεόν· τί δή μοι, φηςίν, ὦ δέσποτα, τὴν τῆς μαντείας ἐπισκήπτεις ἀνάγκην, καὶ οὐχὶ μᾶλλον ἀπὸ τῆς γὴς μετέωρον ἀρθεῖσαν διαφυ- λάττεις ἄχρι τῆς μακαριωτάτης σῆς ἐλεύσεως ἠμέρας; ὁ δὲ Μάρων πρὸς τοῖς εἰρημένοις ἐπιφέρει καὶ τάδε· Ἄρχεο μειδιόωσαν ὁρῶν τὴν μήτέρα κεδνὴν Γνωρίζειν· ἡ γάρ σε φέρεν πολλοὺς λυκάβαντας. Σοὶ δὲ γονεῖς οὐ πάμπαν ἐφημερίῳ γ΄ ἐγέλασσαν, Οὐδ’ ἥψω λεχέων, οὐδ΄ ἔγνως δαῖτα δάλειαν.
