Τῇ Πεσσινοῦντι βοηθεῖν ἕτοιμός εἰμι, εἰ τὴν μητέρα τῶν θεῶν ἵλεων καταστήσουσιν ἑαυτοῖς· ἀμελοῦντες δὲ αὐτῆς οὐκ ἄμεμπτοι μόνον, ἀλλὰ, μὴ πικρὸν εἰπεῖν, μὴ καὶ τῆς παρ’ ἡμῶν ἀπολαύσωσι δυσμενείας. οὐ γάρ μοι θέμις ἐστὶ κομιζέμεν οὐδ’ ἐλεαίρειν ἀνέρας, οἵ κε θεοῖσιν ἀπέχθωντ’ ἀθανάτοισιν. πεῖθε τοίνυν αὐτούς, εἰ τῆς παρ’ ἐμοῦ κηδεμονίας ἀντέχονται, πανδημεὶ τῆς μητρὸς τῶν θεῶν ἱκέτας γενέσθαι.
