Πιττακὸς καὶ Φρύνων ἐμονομάχουν Σιγείου πέρι ἔδοξεν ἀμφοῖν ἴσα ἔχειν ὅπλα. τὰ μὲν δὴ φανερὰ ὅπλα ἴσα ἦν. Πιττακὸς δὲ ὑπὸ τῇ ἀσπίδι κρύψας ἀμφίβληστρον περιβάλλει τὸν Φρύνωνα καὶ ῥᾳδίως ἐπισπασάμενος κτιννύει καὶ Σίγειον τοῖς Δεσβίοις τῷ λίνῳ ἐθήρευσεν. οἷον καὶ νῦν οἱ μονομαχοῦντες λίνον ἔχουσι, Πιττακὸς ἐδίδαξεν.
