ἐπειδὴ δὲ κατ’ ἐκεῖνο τὸ χωρίον ἐγένετο ἔνθα τὸ καταγώγιον ὁ θεῖος εἶχε Μελέτιος, ἀναβλέψας εἶδεν ἐκεῖνον ἀπὸ τοῦ δρυφάκτου διακύπτοντα καὶ δραμὼν εἵλκυσέ τε καὶ κατήγαγε, καὶ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ἀπαγαγὼν πρῶτον μὲν αὐτῶ μάστιγας παμπόλλας ἐπήγαγεν, εἶτα ὀβελοὺς πυρακτώσας καὶ ταῖς χερσὶ καὶ τοῖς ποσὶ καὶ τοῖς νώτοις ἐπέθηκεν, ἔπειτα καθείρξας ἐν τῷ θαλάμῳ καὶ κλεῖθρα ἔξωθεν ἐπιθεὶς εἰς τὴν Δάφνην ἀνῆλθε.
