ἔδοξε γὰρ ἑπτὰ βόας ἀνέρπειν ἐκ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, πίονας καὶ σφόδρα εὐσάρκους καὶ καλὰς ὀφθῆναι, καὶ παρὰ ταῖς ὄχθαις νέμεσθαι· μεθ’ ἃς ἑτέρας ἀριθμὸν ἴσας, ἀσάρκους τρόπον τινὰ καὶ κατεσκελετευμένας καὶ εἰδεχθεστάτας, ἀνελθεῖν καὶ συννέμεσθαι ταῖς προτέραις· εἶτ’ ἐξαπιναίως ὑπὸ τῶν χειρόνων καταβρωθῆναι τὰς ἀμείνους καὶ μηδὲν ἀλλὰ μηδὲ τὸ βραχύτατον ταῖς ἐμφορηθείσαις πρὸς ὄγκον ἐπιδοῦναι τὰς γαστέρας, ἀλλ’ ἢ μᾶλλον ἢ οὐχ ἧττον ἐστάλθαι.
