ἀργὸς δὲ αὐτὴ καὶ ἄνετος οὖσα τὰ ὑπὸ τῶν ἄλλων πονούμενα καρποῦται καὶ πλήρης αὐτῇ πανταχοῦ τράπεζα· καὶ γὰρ αἱ αἶγες αὐτῇ ἀμέλγονται, καὶ ἡ μέλιττα οὐχ ἥκιστα μυίαις καὶ ἀνθρώποις ἐργάζεται, καὶ οἱ ὀψοποιοὶ ταύτῃ τὰ ὄψα ἡδύνουσι, καὶ βασιλέων αὐτῶν προγεύεται καὶ ταῖς τραπέζαις ἐμπεριπατοῦσα συνεστιᾶται αὐτοῖς καὶ συναπολαύει πάντων.
