Ταχὼς δ ̓ ὁ Αἰγυπτίων βασιλεὺς Ἀγησίλαον σκώψας, τὸν Λακεδαιμονίων βασιλέα, ὅτ ̓ ἦλθεν αὐτῷ συμμαχήσων (ἦν γὰρ βραχὺς τὸ σῶμα), ἰδιώτης ἐγένετο, ἀποστάντος ἐκείνου τῆς συμμαχίας. Τὸ δὲ σκῶμμα τοῦτ ̓ ἦν· Ὤδινεν ὄρος, Ζεὺς δ ̓ ἐφοβεῖτο, τὸ δ ̓ ἔτεκεν μῦν. Ὅπερ ἀκούσας ὁ Ἀγησίλαος, καὶ ὀργισθεὶς ἔφη, «Φανήσομαί σοι ποτὲ καὶ λέων.» Ὕστερον γὰρ ἀφισταμένων τῶν Αἰγυπτίων, ὥς φησι Θεόπομπος καὶ Λυκέας ὁ Ναυκρατίτης ἐν τοῖς Αἰγυπτιακοῖς, οὐδὲν αὐτῷ συμπράξας ἐποίησεν ἐκπεσόντα τῆς ἀρχῆς φυγεῖν εἰς Πέρσας.
