Εἴρηται περὶ Ὀμφάλης ὡς Ἡρακλῆς λατρεύει παρ’ αὐτῇ. μάταιος δὲ ὁ λόγος. ἐξὸν γὰρ κἀκείνης καὶ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῇ δεσπόζειν *****. ἐγένετο οὖν τοιόνδε τι. Ὀμφάλη ἦν Ἰαρδάνου θυγάτηρ Λυδῶν βασιλέως. αὕτη ἀκούσασα τὴν ἰσχὺν Ἡρακλέους, προσεποιήθη ἐρᾶν αὐτοῦ. πλησιάσας δὲ Ἡρακλῆς ἔρωτι ἑάλω αὐτῆς, γεννᾷ δὲ ἐξ αὐτῆς υἱόν· ἡδόμενος δὲ αὐτῇ ἐποίει ὅ τι προστάττοι Ὀμφάλη. οἱ δὲ εὐήθεις ὑπέλαβον λατρεύειν αὐτὸν αὐτῇ.
