ὁ δʼ αὐτὸς αὑτοῦ κύριος ὢν τούτους προῃρεῖτο τῶν ἀγώνων ἐξ ὧν ἤμελλεν ἢ τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἢ τῆς αὑτοῦ πατρίδος εὐεργέτης γενήσεσθαι. καὶ τόν τε ταῦρον τὸν ἀνεθέντα μὲν ὑπὸ Ποσειδῶνος, τὴν δὲ χώραν λυμαινόμενον, ὃν πάντες οὐκ ἐτόλμων ὑπομένειν, μόνος χειρωσάμενος μεγάλου φόβου καὶ πολλῆς ἀπορίας τοὺς οἰκοῦντας τὴν πόλιν ἀπήλλαξεν·
