ἐφ’ ᾧ θηρὸς ἀγρίου δίκην ὁ δικαστὴς ὀξυνθεὶς τὸν θυμὸν, τοσαύτας μὲν αὐτῇ πρότερον αἰκίας κατὰ τῶν πλευρῶν ἐπιτίθησιν, ὅσας οὐδενὶ τῶν πώποτε, μονονουχὶ καὶ ὠμῶν τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτῆς ἐμφορηθῆναι γλιχόμενος.· ὡς δὲ κόρον αὐτῶ ἤδη τὰ τῆς μανίας ἐλάμβανεν, ἄμφω ζεύξας, αὐτήν τε ταύτην ἅμα τῇ πρὸς αὐτῆς ἀδελφῇ προσαγορευθείσῃ, τὸν διὰ πυρὸς αὐτῶν καταψηφίζεται θάνατον. τούτων ἡ μὲν προτέρα τῆς Γαζαίων χώρας ἐλέγετο, τὴν δ’ ἑτέραν ἰστέον ἀπὸ τῆς Καισαρέων ὡρμῆσθαι, τὴν πολλοῖς γνώριμον Οὐαλεντῖναν τοὔνομα.
