πρὸς δὲ τούτοις ἕτερος προσῆν, ὅς τοῦ πλησίον γυναῖκα παίζειν ἤθελε, λῃστεύων γάμον ἀλλότριον καὶ ἐπὶ παράνο- μον κοίτην τραπῆναι παρορμῶν, τὸν γεγαμηκότα γνήσιον πατέρα γίωεσθαι μὴ θέλων. ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ταῖς πραγῳδίαις πιστεύειν ἠρχόμην, καὶ τὸ Θυέστειον δεῖπνον αληθῶς ἐδόδει μοι γεγωνέναι , πιστεύω δὲ καὶ τῇ Οἰδιπόδαο παρανόμῳ ἐπιμξέᾳ, καὶ τῇ τῶν ἀδελφῶν διὰ ξίφους φιλονεικίᾳ οὐκ ἀπιστῶ.
