‘ [3] Ἐν μεθορίῳ κεῖμαι δύο ἐναντίων: Ἔρως ἀνταγωνίζεται καὶ πατήρ. Ὁ μὲν ἕστηκεν αἰδοῖ κρατῶν, ὁ δὲ κάθηται πυρπολῶν. Πῶς κρίνω τὴν δίκην; ἀνάγκη μάχεται καὶ φύσις, καὶ θέλω μὲν σοὶ δικάσαι, πάτερ, ἀλλ̓ ἀντίδικον ἔχω χαλεπώτερον. Βασανίζει τὸν δικαστήν, ἕστηκε: μετὰ βελῶν, κρίνει μετὰ πυρός. Ἂν ἀπειθήσω, πάτερ, αὐτῷ, κάομαι τῷ πυρί.’
Achilles Tatius. Erotici Scriptores Graeci, Vol 1. Rudolf Hercher. in aedibus B. G. Teubneri. Leipzig. 1858. Keyboarding.
