[15]
εἰ ταῦτα εἶδες, ὦ Τυχιάδη, οὐκ ἂν ἔτι ἠπίστησας
εἶναι πολλὰ ἐν ταῖς ἐπῳδαῖς χρήσιμα.’
‘εὖ λέγεις,’ ἦν δὲ ἐγώ: ‘ ἐπίστευον γὰρ ἄν, εἲ
γε εἶδον αὐτά, νῦν δὲ συγγνώμη, οἶμαι, εἰ μὴ τὰ ὅμοια ὑμῖν ὀξυδορκεῖν ἔχω πλὴν ἀλλ᾽ οἶδα γὰρ τὴν Χρυσίδα ἣν λέγεις, ἐραστὴν γυναῖκα καὶ
πρόχειρον, οὐχ ὁρῶ δὲ τίνος ἕνεκα ἐδεήθητε ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν τοῦ πηλίνου πρεσβευτοῦ καὶ μάγου τοῦ ἐξ
Ὑπερβορέων καὶ Σελήνης αὐτῆς, ἣν εἴκοσι
δραχμῶν ἀγαγεῖν εἰς Ὑπερβορέους δυνατὸν ἦν. πάνυ
γὰρ ἐνδίδωσιν πρὸς ταύτην τὴν ἐπῳδὴν ἡ γυνὴ
καὶ τὸ ἐναντίον τοῖς φάσμασιν πέπονθεν ἐκεῖνα μὲν γὰρ ἢν ψόφον ἀκούσῃ χαλκοῦ ἢ σιδήρου, πέφευγε — καὶ ταῦτα γὰρ ὑμεῖς φατε — αὕτη δὲ ἂν
ἀργύριόν που ψοφῇ, ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸν ἦχον. ἄλλως
τε καὶ αὐτοῦ θαυμάζω τοῦ μάγου, εἰ δυνάμενος
αὐτὸς ἐρᾶσθαι πρὸς τῶν πλουσιωτάτων γυναικῶν καὶ τάλαντα ὅλα παρ᾽ αὐτῶν λαμβάνειν, ὁ δὲ τεττάρων μνῶν πάνυ σμικρολόγος ὢν ^ Γλαυκίαν
ἐπέραστον ἐργάζεται.’

[p. 344] Γελοῖα ποιεῖς,’ ἔφη ὁ Ἴων, ‘ ἀπιστῶν ἅπασιν.
