ἣ δὲ κατιοῦσα, πᾶν ὅ τι ταύτης ἄξιον τῆς ἀσεβείας, ἐλθεῖν αὐτῇ Σερήνᾳ καὶ ἀνδρὶ καὶ τέκνοις ἠράσατο. ἐπεὶ δὲ οὐδενὸς τούτων ποιησαμένη λόγον ἀνεχώρει τοῦ τεμένους ἐγκαλλωπιζομένη τῷ κόσμῳ, πολλάκις μὲν ἐπεφοίτησεν ὄναρ αὐτῇ καὶ ὕπαρ τὸν ἐσόμενον θάνατον προμηνύον, ἐθεάσαντο δὲ καὶ ἄλλοι πολλοὶ τὰ παραπλήσια. καὶ τοσοῦτον ἴσχυσεν ἡ τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς μετιοῦσα Δίκη δρᾶσαι τὸ οἰκεῖον, ὥστε οὐδὲ μαθοῦσα τὸ ἐσόμενον ἐφυλάξατο, ὑπέσχε δὲ τῇ ἀγχόνῃ τὸν τράχηλον ᾧ τὸν τῆς θεοῦ κόσμον ἔτυχε περιθεῖσα.
