Περιλαβόντες δὲ κύκλῳ τὸ δωμάτιον, καὶ πλείστην ὕλην περὶ τοῦτο συλλέξαντες, πῦρ ἐνέβαλον: αὐτίκα δὲ ἡ φλὸξ ὑπὸ ἐπιφόρου πνεύματος ὧδε συμβὰν ἐλαυνομένη, τὴν ὕλην διῆλθεν. Ἅμα δὲ καὶ τὰ ἀποκείμενα ἐν τῷ δωματίῳ τοῦ πυρὸς μετέσχε, καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν βασιλέα καὶ τοὺς ἀμφ̓ αὐτὸν συγκατέκαυσεν. Ἐτελεύτησε δὲ γεγονὼς ἀμφὶ τὰ πεντήκοντα ἔτη: τρισκαίδεκα δὲ σὺν τῷ ἀδελφῷ βασιλεύσας, καὶ μετ̓ ἐκεῖνον τρία.
