ἑπτὰ δὲ ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ Δάφνῃ πανηγυρἰζειν εἰώθεσαν. Τῇ’ οὖν ἡμέρᾳ τῇ πρώτῃ παραοτὰς οὕτος τῇ βασλέως στιβάδι καὶ τὰ ὄψα κατὰ τὸ ἔθος διαρράνας καὶ τοῦ μύσους ἐμπλήσας, δρόμῳ χρησάμενος τὴν Ἀντιόχου πόλιν κατέλαβε καὶ πρὸς τὴν θαυμασίαν ἐκείνην ἀφικόμενος ἄνθρωπον· ψῶ μὲν ἥκω σοὶ, ἔφη, »μὴ ψευσάμενος τὴν ὑπόσχεσιν· σὺ δὲ σωτηρίας ἑκατέρας ἐπιμελήθητι καὶ τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν ἐκπλήρωσον«.
