ἀλλʼ ἐντυχὼν ἀνδρῶν γένει ἀκολάστῳ καὶ φιληδόνῳ, οἳ διῆγον, καθάπερ τὰ θρέμματα, (ι 97/94) λωτὸν ἐρεπτόμενοιμελιηδέα, (οὕτω γάρ που τὴν ἡδονὴν ὀνομάζει Ὅμηρος), ἀναμιχθέντας αὐτῷ τοὺς ἑταίρους τῇ τούτων τρυφῇ, καὶ γευσαμένους τῆς ἀτοπίας τοῦ λωτοῦ, ἄκοντας καὶ δακρύοντας λαβὼν ἐπὶ ναῦν ἄγει. Ἀλλʼ οὐχ ὁ Εὐρρύ μαχος τοῖς μνηστῆρσι τοιοῦτος, ἀλλὰ τοῦ ἑτέρου γένους τοῦ κολακευτικοῦ, οἵου σιάλους σῦς ἢ αἶγας εὐτραφεῖς συγκατακόπτειν αὐτοῖς, καὶ τοῦ οἴνου ἄδην συνεκροφεῖν, καὶ συγκυλινδεῖσθαι ἐᾶν τῆς νυκτὸς θεραπαινιδίοις, καὶ κείρειν οἶκον ἀνδρὸς βασιλέως, καὶ διεπιβουλεύειν τῷ γάμῳ.
