Κάδμος: Ἀγήνορος θυγάτηρ Εὐρώπη, ἣν λαβὼν Ζεὺς εἰς Κρήτην ἀγνοίᾳ τοῦ πατρὸς ἤγαγεν. ὁ δὲ περιήρχετο ζητῶν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὑτοῦ, Κάδμον, Θάσον, Κίλικα καὶ Φινέα, ἀπέστειλε ψηλαφήσαντας μαθεῖν. Κάδμος οὖν τὸν χρησμὸν λαβὼν εἰς τὸ Ἀπόλλωνος ἱερὸν ἐτάχθη δάμαλιν λαβεῖν, καὶ ἀπερχόμενος ἐλαύνειν ἔμπροσθεν, καὶ ὅπου κλιθεῖσα ἡ δάμαλις πέσῃ, κτίσαι πόλιν. κτίζει οὖν Θήβας, καὶ τὸν δράκοντα ἀναιρεῖ, σπείρας τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτοῦ, ἐξ ὧν ἀνεφύησαν οἱ γίγαντες. Gu. Bar.
