ἑτεροῖον τοῦτ᾽ ἐστίν, ὦ Ἑρμῆ, καὶ οὐχὶ τοῖς ἐμαυτοῦ ποσὶ βαδίζω τότε, οὐδὲ ὁ Ζεύς, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ Πλούτων ἀποστέλλει με παρ᾽ αὐτοὺς ἅτε πλουτοδότης καὶ μεγαλόδωρος καὶ αὐτὸς ὤν: δηλοῖ γοῦν καὶ τῷ ὀνόματι. ἐπειδὰν τοίνυν μετοικισθῆναι δέῃ με παρ᾽ ἑτέρου πρὸς ἕτερον, ἐς δέλτον ἐμβαλόντες με καὶ κατασημηνάμενοι ἐπιμελῶς φορηδὸν ἀράμενοι μετακομίζουσιν: καὶ ὁ μὲν νεκρὸς ἐν
σκοτεινῷ που τῆς οἰκίας πρόκειται ὑπὲρ τὰ γόνατα παλαιᾷ τῇ ὀθόνῃ σκεπόμενος, περιμάχητος ταῖς γαλαῖς, ἐμὲ δὲ οἱ ἐπελπίσαντες ἐν τῇ
ἀγορᾷ περιμένουσι κεχηνότες ὥσπερ τὴν χελιδόνα
[p. 350]
