LODBROCHI EPICEDIUM.

Οι τε ἐν τῇ ἠπείρῳ παραθαλάσσιοι, και ὅσοι νήσους εἶχον, επειδη ηρξαντο μᾶλλον περαιούσθαι ναυσὶν ἐπ' ἀλλήλους, ἐτράποντο πρὸς ληστείαν, ἡγουμένων ἀνδρων ἐν τῶν αδυνατωτάτων, κέρδεος τοῦ σφτέρου αὐτῶν ἕνεκα, καὶ τοῖς ἀσθενέσι τροφῆς. Και προσπίπτοντες πόλεσιν ἀτειχίστοις, και κατα κωμας οἰκεομέναις, ἥρπαζον. και τον πλείστον τοῦ βίου ἐντεῦθεν ἐποιεοντα, οὐκ ἔχοντός πω αἰσχυνην τούτου τοῦ ἔργου, φέροντος δέ τι και δόξης μᾶλλον
