ἐπὶ τούτοις διελύθη τὸ συμπόσιον τελευτῆσαν
ἐκ τῶν δακρύων αὖθις ἐς γέλωτα ἐπὶ τῷ Ἀλκιδάμαντι καὶ Διονυσοδώρῳ καὶ Ἴωνι. καὶ οἵ τε
τραυματίαι φοράδην ἐξεκομίζοντο πονηρῶς ἔχοντες, καὶ μάλιστα ὁ πρεσβύτης ὁ Ζηνόθεμις ἀμφοτέραις τῇ μὲν τῆς ῥινός, τῇ δὲ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ ἐπειλημμένος, βοῶν ἀπόλλυσθαι ὑπ᾽ ἀλγηδόνων,
ὥστε καὶ τὸν Ἕρμωνα καίπερ ἐν κακοῖς ὄντα — δύο γὰρ ὀδόντας ἐξεκέκοπτο — ἀντιμαρτύρεσθαι λέγοντα, Μέμνησο μέντοι, ὦ Ζηνόθεμι, ὡς οὐκ ἀδιάφορον ἡγῇ τὸν πόνον καὶ ὁ νυμφίος δὲ
ἀκεσαμένου τὸ τραῦμα τοῦ Διονίκου ἀπήγετο ἐς τὴν οἰκίαν ταινίαις κατειλημένος τὴν κεφαλήν,
ἐπὶ τὸ ζεῦγος ἀνατεθεὶς ἐφ᾽ οὗ τὴν νύμφην ἀπάξειν ἔμελλε, πικροὺς ὁ ἄθλιος τοὺς γάμους ἑορτάσας: καὶ τῶν ἄλλων δὲ ὁ Διόνικος ἐπεμελεῖτο δὴ τὰ δυνατά, καὶ καθευδήσοντες ἀπήγοντο ἐμοῦντες οἱ πολλοὶ ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς. ὁ μέντοι Ἀλκιδάμας αὐτοῦ ἔμεινεν οὐ γὰρ ἠδυνήθησαν ἐκβαλεῖν τὸν ἄνδρα, ἐπεὶ ἅπαξ καταβαλὼν ἑαυτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης πλαγίως ἐκάθευδε.
