ὁ δὲ Μειδίας παρεπόμενος αὐτῷ ἠξίου τὴν τῶν Γεργιθίων πόλιν παραδοῦναι αὑτῷ. καὶ ὁ Δερκυλίδας μέντοι ἔλεγεν ὡς τῶν δικαίων οὐδενὸς ἀτυχήσοι: ἅμα δὲ ταῦτα λέγων ᾔει πρὸς τὰς πύλας σὺν τῷ Μειδίᾳ, καὶ τὸ στράτευμα ἠκολούθει αὐτῷ εἰρηνικῶς εἰς δύο. οἱ δ᾽ ἀπὸ τῶν πύργων καὶ μάλα ὑψηλῶν ὄντων ὁρῶντες τὸν Μειδίαν σὺν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔβαλλον: εἰπόντος δὲ τοῦ Δερκυλίδα: κέλευσον, ὦ Μειδία, ἀνοῖξαι τὰς πύλας, ἵνα ἡγῇ μὲν σύ, ἐγὼ δὲ σὺν σοὶ εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἔλθω κἀνταῦθα θύσω τῇ Ἀθηνᾷ, ὁ Μειδίας ὤκνει μὲν ἀνοίγειν τὰς πύλας, φοβούμενος δὲ μὴ παραχρῆμα συλληφθῇ, ἐκέλευεν ἀνοῖξαι.
