ταῦτα μὲν οὖν ἑκὰς ὥν ἐπέστειλεν. ἐπειδὴ δὲ τὴν φυγὴν μεμαθηκὼς εἰς ἐπικουρίαν ἀφίκετο καὶ τὴν μὲν οἰκείαν καταλελοιπότα βασιλείαν εἰς δὲ τὴν αὐτοῦ παραγενόμενον εἶδε, πρῶτον μὲν τῇ ψυχῇ τὴν θεραπείαν προσήνεγκε καὶ τὴν ἐπιγενομένην τῆς ἀσεβείας ἐξήλασε νόσον καὶ εἰς τὴν πατρῴαν εὐσέβειαν ἐπανήγαγεν· εἶτα θαρρεῖν παρεγγυήσας καὶ κατὰ τοῦ τυράννου στρατεύσας, ἀναιμωτὶ μὲν τῶ νέῳ τὴν βασιλείαν παρέδωκε, τὸν δὲ τύραννον ἔκτεινεν.
