Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἅπαν τὸ σῶμα τραυματίας ἐγένετο, ἔτι δὲ ὅμως ἐνέπνεε, μέλιτι καὶ γάρῳ ἀλείψαντες αὐτὸν, καὶ σαργάνῃ ἐμβαλόντες, πλέγμα δὲ τοῦτο ὁλόσχοινον, εἰς ὕψος ᾖραν. Ἡνίκα δὴ λέγεται, σφηκῶν καὶ μελισσῶν ἐφιπταμένων αὐτῷ καὶ τὰς σάρκας κατεσθιουσῶν, πρὸς τοὺς Ἀρεθουσίους εἰπεῖν, ὡς αὐτὸς ὑψηλὸς εἴη: τοὺς δὲ ταπεινοὺς ὁρᾷ καὶ χαμαὶ ἐρχομένους, καὶ κατὰ τοῦτο ἑαυτῷ τε κἀκείνοις συμβάλλειν ἔσεσθαι τὰ μετὰ ταῦτα.
