δεδιὼς δὲ μή ποτε φεύγων καταληφθείη ʽπεριφανὴς γὰρ ἦν ἤδη πολλοῖς ὁ κατέχων αὐτὸν ἔρως τῆς βασιλείασ̓ τοὺς ἐν τοῖς σταθμοῖς ἵππους, οὕς τὸ δημόσιον ἔτρεφεν, ἅμα τῷ φθάσαι τὸν σταθμὸν κολούων καὶ ἀχρείους ἐῶν τοῖς ἑξῆς ἑστῶσιν ἐχρῆτο. καὶ ἑξῆς τοῦτο ποιῶν τοῖς μὲν διώκουσιν ἀπέκλεισε τὴν ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσω πορείαν, αὐτὸς δὲ προσήγγιζεν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐν οἷς ἦν ὁ πατήρ.
