ταύτην οἱ συνηθέστεροι τὴν μεταβολὴν αὐτοῦ θεασάμενοι, μηνῦσαι σφίσιν ἱκέτευσαν τῆς εὐφροσύνης τὴν ἀφορμήν. ὁ δὲ τὸν σῦν ἔφη τὸν ἄγριον τὸν τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος τοῦ θείου πολέμιον δίκας εἰπεπρᾶχθαι τῶν εἰς τοῦτον ἀδικημάτων καὶ κεῖσθαι νεκρόν , τῆς ἐπιβουλῆς πεπαυμένον. ταῦτα μεμαθηκότες ἐχόρευον ἅπαντες καὶ τῷ θεῷ τὸν χαριστήριον προσέφερον ὕμνον. ἔγνωσαν δὲ καὶ παρὰ τῶν τὴν ἐκείνου νοῦ τελευτὴν μεμηνυκότων αὐτὴν εἶναι καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν καὶ τὴν ὥραν καθ’ ἣν ἀνῃρῆσθαι τὸν ἀλιτήριον ὁ θεῖος ἐκεῖνος πρεσβύτης ἔγνω τε καὶ προείρηκε.
