φορτίου δʼ οἶμαι προσγενομένου καὶ αὐτὸς ἐγκατελήφθη. ὅθεν δὴ καὶ ἄξιον θεωρῆσαι τὸ θεῖον, ὅτι τοῖς ἀνδράσι τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς εὐμενῶς ἔχει. λέγεται γὰρ κύκλῳ τὸν τόπον ἐκεῖνον περιρρυῆναι τὸ πῦρ καὶ σωθῆναι τούτους μόνους, ἀφʼ ὧν καὶ τὸ χωρίον ἔτι καὶ νῦν προσαγορεύεσθαι τῶν εὐσεβῶν χῶρον· τοὺς δὲ ταχεῖαν τὴν ἀποχώρησιν ποιησαμένους καὶ τοὺς ἑαυτῶν γονέας ἐγκαταλιπόντας ἅπαντας ἀπολέσθαι.
