καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα Λαπίθαις σύμμαχος γενόμενος, στρατευσάμενος ἐπὶ Κενταύρους τοὺς διφυεῖς, οἳ καὶ τάχει καὶ ῥώμῃ καὶ τόλμῃ διενεγκόντες τὰς μὲν ἐπόρθουν, τὰς δʼ ἤμελλον, ταῖς δʼ ἠπείλουν τῶν πόλεων, τούτους μάχῃ νικήσας εὐθὺς μὲν αὐτῶν τὴν ὕβριν ἔπαυσεν, οὐ πολλῷ δʼ ὕστερον τὸ γένος ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἠφάνισεν.
